Hi Chris,

Got the box and all I can say is WOWIE! I've only taken a quick look at the San Anita and Blackhawk so far and they are chock full of goodies. Thanks! Hope you get out in the field soon.

Chris,

I received the pyromorphite today, it is great. I was having trouble
seeing how three dimensional the piece would be, it is very aesthetic that
way.

Do you have any history on the specimen?

Thanks,

Ryan

Hello Chris

I got the three specimens today in excellent condition. The ps. was indeed very nice. According to Vanadinites. I think now I have covered up all of the pockets you have found, so far, from the North Home Mine. Once in a while I take a look at them all together and they are so nice. The xl habit, the different color, the luster. They are all very pleasing to look at.

Hi Chris all is ok for my 3 specimens
thanks

Hi, the package arrived in fine order.

Hi Chris, Just a short note to let you know that the
packages arrived in good shape, they are FANTASTIC.  And the linarite is
quite nice as well.

I just received the previous order and everything came in great shape.

Thanks!!!

Just wanted to let you know that the minerals arrived safe and sound. While I was unwrapping the Calcite from Myers it broke, it was my fault, and I need to remember to much more careful unpacking things. I can't believe how gorgeous the Sphalerite and Galena/Barite is! Also I can't believe I own it!. Did you collect that piece? If you have any others from that mine let me know, as the two I have purchased are outstanding. I also really am taken with vugs and the Wulfenite from the Blackhawk Mine is really intriguing.

Dear Chris,

Received package safely today. Hemimorphite from the Summit really nice, and the diopsides, too.

Hello Chris

I’ve got the Vanadinites yesterday. Three of them in excellent shape. The forth broken about ¼ of the total size. The biggest specimen 01709 from the Halloween Pocket was excellent. Very nice crystallization and with the calcite it makes a very nice contrast. The other two specimens also interesting and nice. Sad that item 01678 was broken. Looks very attractive from the picture. The damage was on the right side of the specimen. The missing part was from the last calcite spot. ( If you are looking at the picture, it is easy to see it) Thank you also for the magazine you sent with the specimens. I have not been able to read your article yet, but I sure will. Looks very interesting to me.
 

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the prompt service. Great job packing - the pieces arrived in pristine condition.
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Chris,

Just wanted to let you know that I received my mineral package in excellent condition. I am really happy about the minerals, especially the Queen of the Hill Mine Galena and Sphalerite samples. I plan on placing another order next payday! Keep in mind I like Butte and Beaverhead County specimens. The pyrite I bought from the Lexington Tunnel in Butte, were you able to gain access to collect it?

Many of the photos did not due the specimens justice (a limitation of not being able to see them first hand), so I will buy with confidence in the future. I have quite the list already made up!

Stay Warm, Mark
 

Chris,

I am happy to report that the vanadinites arrived in good condition. I opened by the box my heart in my throat. Your check will go out in this evening’s mail.

Thanks for the “extra”.

Keep me posted on whatever new finds you make.

A belated “Happy Thanksgiving” and an early “Merry Christmas” to you.

George
 

Hi, Chris, a belated response to let you know that the samples
arrived and are unpacked; I think that they will be suitable for our
experiment, so I will be sending a selection to my colleague in
Germany, holding others in reserve.

Best, Rich

The package arrived in good condition, and there are a few little gems. Thanks, my mentor will be happy too.

Take care,
Elaine

Chris,

Specimens arrived, now the fun part begins (trimming)!  Thanks!

Chris

Thanks Chris, I really like the 2 others I received from you. Out standing!
Lee

Hi Chris,

I received the pyro today and it’s just as described; I’m very happy with it. Thanks for the great packing and fast shipping!

Best,

Sheelin
 

Hi Chris! I had a day last week to spend on the specimens you sent. I came out with nice miniatures of each of the first three listed. The last one is awaiting the conversion of my cheap hydraulic log splitter to rock cracker. Thanks again, -Tom

Hi Chris,

I got the parcel this Friday in nice condition!

Best regards,

Aksel

Hi Chris

The parcel arrived today in perfect condition and the specimens are excellent. I would like to thank you for the first rate service, it has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Thank you and regards,
Clive

Hi Chris, Your shipment arrived this week, I didn't get to it until today. Everything is 'super' thanks very much for the nice selection of specimens. Your packing was exceptional! Thanks very much for helping me add more to my Wulfenite collection!

Evening Chris,

Just wanted to let you know I received the Pressure Gun today.  I thank you for the quick service...Have a great weekend....Jim

Hi Chris!

Thanks for the Rocks! Great stuff!

Thanks!
Justin

Hi Chris,
 Some beautiful wulfenites in the Black Hawk material. Hope to view a bunch this weekend. Will let you know what I find. Also, thanks for the caledonite specimen. Greatly appreciated.  Have a great weekend.
Jim

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the prompt service, your reputation precedes you.

Hi Chris,

Parcel has arrived today. The pieces are really great. If you've got new stuff then just contact me. I'm always interested.

Cheers Christian

The vanadinite is okay, but the wulfenite is spectacular! Thanks, -Tom

Hi Chris,
The items you send to me have the least amount of problems for me to deal with. I have ordered and received wulfenite form "another internet dealer" and it was a joke to see how they were packaged. Specimens that had made it for 30 years were trashed on there way to me, and the way they were secured I couldn't even begin to blame the postal system. Thanks Chris

 Specimens arrived safely and in excellent condition. Thanks Graham

Dear Chris,
Just a short note to let you know that the parcel arrived last Friday. Everything arrived in great shape. Sure was heavy.  I looked over all the bags and am really impressed with the quality of the stuff.  Will be ordering more material from you in the near future.
Jim

Dear Chris,
The box arrived today, excellent packing job. The millerite is
excellent under a loupe. All those brassy crystals! Thanks, Sally

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to say Thank you, I received the water gun today.

Sheila

Thanks Chris and thanks for the link to the book on blasting cap tins. I sent for that too so we will know what we are doing starting this new collection. Judy

Last order arrived today- safe and in good condition, thanks!

The second lot of specimens arrived safely-many thanks. The topaz from Thomas Range is very lovely.

Chris - Thanks for the Quick Response! This piece looks great and I am looking forward to it

Hi Chris,
The 3 boxes have arrived, a little battered but I think the contents are OK. Haven't checked everything yet (too busy!) but you can thank
your father for packaging them well inside. I'll let you know if anything is wrong but I don't think it will be.

All the Green Monster mine specimens arrived in perfect condition-fantastic pieces. they are a long way from home now. Thanks, Graham

Hello Chris,
I got the Vanadinite specimen this morning. And it was a little beauty!  Excellent under magnification. Thank you very much.

Got your package this week and was very pleased with was inside !! loved the millerite !!!

Lots of thanks,
Paul

Hi Chris,
The epidote arrived safely. Thanks so very much for a prompt mailing. If you ever need an endorsement I'd be happy to provide one....
Take care,
Roy

Hi Chris,
Just a quick note to say thanks for the partial postage refund. Not to many dealers, these days, take time out to do this or want to do it! You're an honest website!

Hi Chris,

I received your package yesterday, opened it last night, and thoroughly enjoyed my new toys. The Green Monster specimens are quite beautiful. That Vanadinite is pretty special too. Are the smallest crystals on that piece acicular ? They sure appear that way to me. The color almost appears to be root beer like. Thanks allot, good luck collecting ...

Hi Chris,
Just a quick note to say that the piece arrived with no problems at all, not that I was expecting any! Superb little piece from a rare location.
Thanks for all and I will let you know if I may want more.
Cheers,
John

Chris,   Specimens arrived in great shape.   Thanks,   Skip

Package came Monday. Check mailed Monday night. Sorry about the delay getting back to you.

Hello Chris.

Got the two Vanadinite specimens from Starvation Pocket today in excellent condition. Two very nice ones! If you come over bigger examples of that kind of crystallization, please let me know.

Mr. Tucker,

Received my order today, they are very nice.  Glad I found your site, I will visit often.

The check is in the mail.

Thanks again,

Lori

Hi Chris We got the minerals safe and sound and Keith is very pleased with them. He studies them and will let you know what he comes up with. He maybe sending you a note with your check. Thanks again. Flo

Hi Chris:
I received the barite yesterday. It is quite pretty with its gemmy root-beer colored prisms and now sits nicely with others in my sulfates
and cousins cabinet.
I'll certainly keep on visiting your site.
Thanks again and best regards,
Mel
