Clearance lots: Minerals

Clearance lots of minerals

Mixed lots of rocks and minerals for collectors. These are often damaged, unidentified, or.. well, I just can't be bothered to sort them out. At least I'm honest.

Please pay careful attention to the description below, as well as the numbered photographs.

These may include several specimens I do not agree with the ID of or am unsure about the locale of, or don't think are especially worth photographing/retailing individually. Sometimes its just because I've got way too much stock in the way and need to clear some! 

By the nature of unidentified and untested specimens, its reasonable to say that some of these specimens could be toxic. I would recommend careful handling. I will try to specify when minerals are toxic or radioactive, though.

Our current stock includes.

• #1 - 8 boxed minerals - mostly micros/thumbnails from Germany. I am a bit dubious about some of the IDs here.

This clearance section is new, and runs on the 'dutch auction' principle - the price will be reduced until someone purchases the lot. If you're on the fence, hit buy now - it could be reduced tomorrow but it could equally be sold by then.
