Pyromorphite on Amethyst from Connecticut: Micromount

This specimen and all micromounts, by definition require significant magnification to be appreciated. The micromounts offered for sale at this site have been photographed at between 10x and 40x. We ship up to 6 micromounts in a 4 inch x 4 inch x 4 inch box. Shipping and handling charges are set at a flat rate of $3.50 for each such box via USPS throughout the U.S. To ship overseas, we charge a flat rate of $6.50 per box of up to six micromounts via USPS First Class International. Our micromounts come mounted in plastic boxes ranging in size from a little less to a little more than one cubic inch. Usually the specimens are mounted with glue to a pedestal that’s often fabricated from cork, wood, or plastic, which in turn has been glued to the bottom of the plastic case. Occasionally, however, we sell specimens that are more simply mounted to the bottom of their cases with a plastic based putty known as "Mineral Tack." Before we list and before shipping, we check to ascertain that each specimen is firmly mounted. When appropriate, we’ll enclose a bit of cotton or similar material within the micromount case to help assure that the specimen remains firmly mounted during shipping. Even so, it’s not impossible for such a micromount to become dislodged during shipping. Occasionally this damages the specimen, but usually not. Should a specimen arrive damaged, we issue an immediate refund including the cost of shipping (partial if more than one mount has been purchased.) Should a micromount specimen selling for more than $10.00 US arrive damaged we request that it be returned and will refund its cost, plus whatever you paid us to ship it, and we will reimburse your shipping costs to return it.
