This is a back issue of Rocks & Minerals magazine ( not to be confused with the inferior Rock & Gem magazine ) . This is the July /August 1989 issue of Rocks & Minerals . It has 100 pages and it is all arkansas mineral and fossil oriented. Has maps , pictures , diagrams , directions primarily for fossil collecting , magnet cove minerals, phosphate minerals , micro minerals and more . Although it has arkansas quartz crystals on the cover , it does not deal with them as much as the other arkansas issue that I also sell . I tried to include several pictures of the magazine contents but couldnt nearly cover everything this magazine offers. Please be sure to see the photo with the table of contents .
You can click the rotating cube to freeze and expand the pictures. These photos show me at work & play , digging for fun & profit. Recently the Travel Channel came out to film one of my digs . aired on February 20 & 24th & will repeat sometime in April , on the “ Cash and Treasures " amethyst episode .IF YOU WANT TO COME DIG AT ONE OF MY MINES THEN JUST EMAIL ME also , be sure to check out my ebay "about me" page for digging information . I dig in Georgia , South Carolina , & Arkansas , most of the crystals I sell & often list items from them here on eBay as well as in my rock shop in Georgia . I am constantly buying and selling all types of mineral specimens , facet rough , e.t.c. as well as always buying and selling crystal mines . Yep , that’s right , I do have crystal mines for sale ! . Please do check out my other items in my eBay stores as I have a variety & often start them out at only $1. To be sure of not missing a hot deal , please add me as a favorite seller. No matter if it is a five dollar specimen or a five hundred dollar specimen , the recipients have always left glowing feedback……………….you should check my feedback and see for yourself what people are saying. All facet rough is indeed facetable , to the best of my knowledge after a quick cursory inspection . Flawless generally means that I do not see any flaws with my unaided naked eye , except for perhaps minor veils at the outer edges of stone ( central or main portion of the stone facetable , or, which ever percentage that is stated is facetable ) . All crystals are natural , unpolished , and have natural color . All amethyst crystals are natural with natural color ( untreated ) Most facet rough is shown backlit and wet , at least in the majority of the batch of photos. Some facet rough has been heat treated or irradiated. When I buy facet rough at the wholesale dealers , I don’t even bother asking as lots of times they don’t even know or wont be truthful. All the regular amethyst facet rough & ametrine facet rough is natural color. Citrine , green amethyst , cognac ,lemon , shadow, quartz is usually the result of some type of treatment such as irradiation or heat treating or BOTH. Questions ?Don’t hesitate to ask ! Color photography provided with a Kodak dx6490 which has excellent natural color rendering and representation . I never alter the color or photoshop to sweeten the color to make the stone look better than it does in real life., especially in light or pastel colors , the specimen looks much better in person & with more color than the photo suggests ! if I charge $4 for a U.S. Shipment then I can ship the same item any where in the world for $6 via airmail . EVEN AUSTRALIA …….. Just $6 ! Check each individual add for exact shipping as it varies . Paypal usually gets your item sent out same day or next ( unless I am on a digging trip ) . Tracking number always provided and you will usually receive an email notifying you of the pending shipment & with tracking number. Insurance optional as I can’t be responsible of loss , theft or damage after the package is in the postal services hands and subsequently , delivered to your doorstep or mailbox. , We love to combine shipping , usually first item is $4 then each additional item is only $1 more . You’ll never pay over $9 because I put things in a flat rate box once a certain postage total is reached. To get the combined rate on shipping you MUST make one payment for all your mulitple items. Most every item is gauranteed with a money back satisfaction gaurantee , except where expressly excluded , or in the case of dirt bags ( once you crack an egg you can hardly put it back together ~ huh ? ) Overseas shipments ? Sure , I routinely ship out to points all over the globe. Check each ad as shipping costs vary from item to item .
