absolutely the most drop-dead gorgeous thing I've seen, and that's saying a
lot considering all the other drop-dead gorgeous specimens I've received in
the past from you guys! But this Azurite is spectacular; I could spend days
just examining every little nook and cranny of it, sure to find new gorgeous
bits to exclaim over. I also want to applaud you on your switch to
biodegradable packing peanuts . . . I put them in my compost pile whenever
it gets too wet and needs more dry items." --Laura, North Carolina

her day and then some." Monique, Washington

you know that I am extremely pleased with the two minerals that I have
received so far. The size of each sample is larger than I had expected and the
quality of each mineral is excellent. Also, I am very pleased with the amount
of information that is included in the write-ups. It is nice to know
information not just about the mineral, but where it came from and also to
know some of the history and uses of the minerals. I am very glad that I have
decided to join your Club."-- E.B., New York, March 31, 2004

just opened the box last night, and I was overjoyed with the size and quality of the
mineral specimen that I received. Truthfully, I was a little skeptical when I first
saw the web site. Well, you know, unfortunately the times we live in, good deals

service. The quality is very high, both the specimens and the write-ups. It's rare in that few things are a combination of aesthetically and scientifically
satisfying, with all that geographic, geological, economic, and political background.
If you could work sex into it, your operation would be a runaway world success. Keep up the good work!"-

grade) look forward each month to our new mineral. As soon as it arrives, they
