Description

Large black, dodecahedral Sphalerite crystals with a slight irredescent coating of Bornite, and associated Pyrite crystals, from a small find about 2004. These Bornite coated Spohalerite crystals are quite unique and were brought out by Brian Kosner.  I only saw a few of these before they disappeared from the market.  Rare.  Old "Bolivian Mineral Classics, Ltd." label included.  Ex Brian Kosner

Seller's terms and conditions

Auction items are not returnable due to the nature of auctions.

Payments for auctions won are expected to be paid within 3 days of auction ending. If still unpaid after 7 days, I will assume the buyer is not going to pay and I will return the specimen to inventory and ask e-rocks to cancel the auction for non payment. I cannot guarantee a specimen will remain available if not paid within 7 days. Non payment is not fair to e-rocks, the seller, or other bidders.  7 days is more than enough time to make a payment.

Combined shipping & shipping holds:  I am happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases. Simply pay for your auction within the 7 day time frame and request a shipping hold pending new auction wins.  I will add only the additional postage based on added weight on subsequent auctions. I will not combine shipping for any buyer that has past due invoices still unpaid. A separate invoice with separate shipping will be sent.  

All purchases using PayPal funding require shipping insurance in order to protect both buyer and seller. Priority mail includes insurance up to $100 value. Additional insurance will be added on the invoice for orders overe $100.  Insurance on First Class mailings will be added to the invoice based on final auction value.

Seller accepts PayPal and credit cards for all International mailings.

Seller Accepts Credit Cards, PayPal, checks and money orders for all US mailings.
