As many of you know, we recently had a fire in our shop. We are desperately trying to save our business and continue making spheres. In order to help with that goal we are starting a sale of 25% off many of our spheres and other items , in order to keep floating until we are rebuilt. Please peruse our sale and see if there are any items that you might like. As always our free domestic shipping makes it easy to fill a box of our store items. Thanks, in advance
We use a 36 watt fluorescent lamp specifically designed for viewing displayed fluorescent minerals. The lamp was built and designed by "Way Too Cool" of AZ (they have a great website with lots of good info on fluorescent minerals and lamps). Our minerals are photographed dry, and no type of of photo enhancement is employed, as it appears under our lamp is how it photoed and is presented on our listings. We display shortwave photos first, then long wave photos. If the mineral does not fluoresce under one those waves, it will be noted in the listing.  If you intend to view these items with a poster lamp they will not fluoresce as shown.  They will fluoresce as shown if you are using a fluorescent mineral lamp, designed for that purpose.
Please remember there are many factors to consider, such as how your computer monitor displays the photos. Also SW minerals will not fluoresce with most of the UV flashlights.
We use bubble wrap to protect smaller and fragile items to insure safe shipping. All rough is photographed wet to show what the colors will look like polished.
100% satisfaction is guaranteed however, any unsatisfactory items must be returned within 30 days. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs incurred. Refund will be given as: money back, or exchanged merchandise. Please check out our other auctions, as we can combine shipping costs for multiple items.
