"Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say the minerals arrived and that they are fantastic - really nice, 'old-time' specimens are hard to come by at fair prices these days, and I appreciate the opportunity to get these Bisbee specimens from you. Expert packing and nice labels as well which are always good to have. Feel free to use any of that on your website under your testimonials section if you want."

"Just wanted to say thanks! The minerals arrived today. Beautiful! Just the way you have packaged the minerals was worth the money! :-)"

"Just received the specimen from on line purchase.  Excellent!  And appreciate the professional invoice, packing, and reasonable shipping....and the specimen label.  I will be return customer."

"Your fair prices facilitate my interest in collecting minerals."

"My rocks arrived today. Thank you for the speedy shipping. I am so pleased with them, especially the celestine and calcite. But as I am a systematic collector, I'm also very happy to have the buergerite and analcime. Nice thumbnails of those are not so easy to come by, especially not at such affordable prices. Thank you very much!"

"The specimens arrived safely today....The barites are absolutely stunning, terrific color, clarity and form, thank you very much."

"Just a quick email to say thanks very much for the last batch of minerals that I purchased from you. The giant hübnerite crystal is just amazing. The large poldervaartite is also very beautiful, and the orpiment/picropharmacolite is extremely nice and free from damage. Best wishes from Canada."

"...I was able to pick up the seven (in total) minerals... I am very pleased with every one of them - and was especially happy about the Brazilianite and Scheelite, both of which are just beautiful.  (Finding these less common minerals, at prices I can afford, is a challenge!!)  Also, the packaging was excellent. Thanks again for a good website and a most interesting selection of minerals at good prices."

"The large box of minerals arrived today, all in perfect condition, and quite magnificent!  The Barite is an absolute stunner, and so is the Cavansite.  I don't know when you're going to update again, but let me know when you do."

"Arsenic specimen arrived in good condition and is now a proud new addition to my elements section! Thanks very much for that one! Really choice!"

"Both specimens arrived today and they are just great. No damage in packing. I am very happy with this purchase. Your description and pictures were good, but the specimens are far better looking in reality. Many thanks for all. I will be on the watch for others you have."

"Thank you for your nice affordable offerings. I wish to order 15 items from your display."

"...got the second package and contents are AOK. Just want to say everything was excellent and look forward to doing more buying from you.....the ferberite/apatite form Portugal makes a excellent display piece and has a lot to look at under the scope."

"I received the pyrite, and I am very pleased with it.  Thank you very much.  I will certainly buy from you again!"

"I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing specimens!  Your order processing was fast, the shipping was lightning fast, the minerals were exquisitely wrapped, and the prices are amazingly affordable!!  I'll definitely be buying from you again! Can you add me to your email list for website updates?"

"Hey Steve, I nearly forgot to thank you.  I appreciate your making up the fluorite pages... they are really great specimens, and the packaging, labeling, and shipping was absolutely top notch!!  I hope the rest of those specimens move fast... there were some really nice ones I had to pass up on."

"The fluorite and aquamarine specimens arrived today. There was no damage. I am pleased with them. You have a new customer."

"Thanks so much for getting the package to us so quickly.  I know you were pressed for time, we want to thank you for your efforts.  ....  We love all the items especially the Aquamarine, the color and size was great!"

"The package with my purchase arrived today. The specimen IS what I hoped I was buying, and it arrived in excellent condition. That was a very good packing job."

"The 2 Montana vanadinites I ordered from you arrived safely this morning.  Thanks for excellent packing, instructions and prompt shipping!!"

"The packaged arrived today in perfect timing. My son will bring them to school for his project tomorrow. Thank you very much for the great specimens. They are much better than the pictures from web pages. We would also like to thank you for the calcite and amethyst quartz cluster as gifts. Although the amethyst quartz cluster is a miniature size but has perfect shape and terminations. I love it. Thanks again for the amazing specimen of rocks."

"Thanks!!  We received them and they are great!!  Great shipping too!!  Another satisfied purchase from Dragon Minerals!!"

"Thanks for the great specimens which arrived yesterday.  I won't have a chance to study the pyrites up close before the weekend but they looked impressive and interesting at first glance. The calcite and even more so the galena were very pleasant surprises, much better than the photos show. I am very happy with my items and look forward to visiting your store again."

"Hey Steve!  Received your package last week. Great specimens, good value, detailed labels, well packed, quick delivery. Thanks"

"I got my first batch of minerals from you today, and am SO PLEASED! They are all beautiful, and I can't wait to see your next installment on your website! Yahooo! It's always exciting to discover (or in this case, [another customer] turned me on to your minerals and your site) a new collector."
