BUTW Amethyst Geode sphere lapidary sculpture 5613A

Click to View Image Album

This is an absolutely gorgeous Brazilian amethyst geode carved into a sphere with brass stand shown. The sphere is 6.1" diameter.

Amethyst, Mythological Maiden - Bacchus, the god of wine, declared in a rage that the first person he passes will be eaten by tigers. This turns out to be a beautiful maiden named Amethyst. The goddess Diana quickly turned Amethyst into a white stone to save her from the tigers. Regretting his anger, Bacchus poured red wine over the stone as an offering to Diana, so turning the stone purple. Amethyst has long been associated with relieving hangovers, or curing drunkenness, probably as a result of its wine-like color and the Bacchus tale.

HOW TO MAKE AUCTIONS GO SMOOTHLY

"by bidding you agree to accept all the following terms"

HOW TO PAY FOR YOUR AUCTION : IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA :

WE normally take pay pal for all auctions that are delivered to a
USA address for items under $50.00.

OVER $50.00 we may require a confirmed address with paypal .

Shipping charges are listed at very bottom of auction page.

I will only accept pay pal from Alaska and Hawaii if item(s) are
shipped by priority mail or 1st class mail.

After auction closes You should get a notice from Ebay .

Normally I will send you an email within 7 days after you pay with
pay pal. If you do not get this then I probably did not get a payment
notice from pay pal, contact me.

If a cancellation of the auction or "order" results from the buyer
not being able to comply with any and all of the requirements in "by
bidding you agree to accept all the following terms" the buyer
agrees to a 10% assessment at sellers discretion on any refund the
buyer may get.

BIDDERS WHO LIVE OUTSIDE THE USA:

firstly CONTACT ME BEFORE PAYING so proper shipping
and insurance charges can be sent to you unless auction
already gave an international shipping amount.
For items over $50.00 Express mail shipping may be required, ask before you bid
International paypal accepted on a case by case basis, contact
me before bidding for more information. Usually accept paypal
for items under $50.00 with a low shipping cost (weight)

NO EMAIL RESPONSE FROM ME: AOL/Earthlink USERS ESPECIALLY TAKE NOTE- AOL is
bouncing much of the mail I send to winning bidders - please check your mail settings. Earthlink
user please add my email address if you are going to bid.

Not getting email from me is no excuse not to pay because you should have gotten a
notice from Ebay and PayPal .
I do not normally send out an email after the auction because ebay and pay pal send
or have at the closed auction site all the info you need to pay with
I will however send out a payment reminder if I have not received payment about 10-14 days after auction closes.
Non paying bidder alerts will be filed at 30 days.

COMBINING/SHIPPING

98% of shipments will go out within 48 hours (weekends and
holidays excluded). however, Buyer agrees to allow seller to
ship within the 7 day paypal shipping window after buyer's
payment or notification to seller is received. Occaisionally I do not get a notice from your agent paypal. When you email or call me and I look at and find your payment at paypal the 7 days starts then.
All items are bought/won "AS IS" and "WHERE IS"
If you won multiple items please email me so I may send a combined total. If you pay seperately I will not combine later.
Not all items are combinable, This especially applies to international shipments. Check before you bid. We try to ship as cheaply as possible and combine whenever possible.
International buyers who use paypal are required to ship in a manner that the delivery of said item can be verified online by PayPal. This can be waived at sellers descretion.
All items are sold FOB McMinnville, Oregon. Flat rate shipping may include expenses other than actual postage/shipping.
Seller will act as buyer's agent to facilitate carriage (mailing, shipping or ups). Seller is however not responsible for performance of carrier (speed of delivery). Seller will act as agent for procurrment of insurance for buyer guaranteeing delivery but not speed of delivery.
If you want to combine items for shipment you must wait till you get a combined invoice before you pay.
All items shipped first class or parcel post/ups where applicable at sellers discretion
Any non USA addressed item the seller feels requires insurance will be charged the parcel post/ air pacel post rate regardless of how the item is actually shipped
If you want shipping other than above please contact me and make arrangements

If buyer has requested combining or holding items for later shipment or any special instructions buyer waives any and all time limits in regard to delivery times with paypal or ebay.
I have no way of connecting an email or a phone call with a pay pal notice except my memory.
Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless for the performance of any carrier such as UPS or USPS. Buyer further agrees to hold seller harmless for any action of any third party, such as, but not limited to ebay, paypal, buyers bank or credit card company.
Buyer agrees that in the event of any dispute involving this auction between seller and buyer that the court of jurisdiction shall be the Yamhill county Courts, Yamhill County, Oregon.
Buyer further agrees that a fee of $50.00 per hour, with a minimum of $50.00, for time seller may spend dealing with extraneous activities/investigations not normally associated with an auction.
Buyer agrees to pay a $10.00 late fee if auction is not paid, at sellers discretion, after 30 days of close of auction. this is to cover in part having to reinvoice you. The auction payment buttons are only good for 30 days from end of auction. Chargebacks will incur a $35.00 fee.
Seller reserves the right to seek remuneration for any and all damage to seller by buyer
Feedback has become a serous matter with Ebay. Neutrals count against me the same as negatives. Your feedback effects my business. We will seek remuneration for any erroneous, malicious, undeserved responses according to the law.
