• Shipping costs: About $8-10 for the first specimen sent by priority mail in the United States, and about $1.00 more for each additional specimen, in most cases. (Heavy and/or large specimens cost more to ship.) Actual shipping costs will be calculated when you place your order. International shipping costs are generally higher. Please request insurance and/or signature confirmation if desired (these services are not automatically included.) We cannot accept any claims for breakage, damage, or loss on uninsured orders. Purchasing insurance for orders over $300 value costs only a few dollars more, and is strongly suggested.
  

• Orders shipped to California addresses are subject to 7.75% California (Beaumont, Riverside County) sales tax, unless you provide a valid resale permit number.

• Payment by Paypal (our preferred method; direct your Paypal to steve@dragon-minerals.com), most standard credit cards, personal check (drawn on a US bank), or money order (drawn on a US bank). Trade offers may also be considered.

• We buy collections! Large lots, small lots, single specimens, even personally-collected material. Please send an email to steve@dragon-minerals.com if you have material for sale.

• In specimen descriptions "no damage" does not include the usual breaks, cleaves, and contact points that occur along the edge or bottom of a specimen where removed from matrix.

• Stands and other items used to position specimens for photography are not included, unless otherwise specified. For available stands please view our Mineral Display and Storage Supplies page.
  

• Return Policy: Specimens may be returned up to ten days after their arrival, no questions asked, for a full refund, minus shipping and insurance costs. It is expected that specimens will be returned in the same condition in which they were received. Please ask for instructions before returning any specimens.

• We proudly use recycled packing materials whenever feasible. The packing peanuts included in your package are made from plant starch. They are water-soluble, biodegradable, and compostable. Please re-use them when possible!
