I am an American Mineralogist. After a long career covering more than 25 years and 43 different countries my wife and I now live in beautiful NorthEast China. I hold numerous licenses from the US, the UN, and the People's Republic of China. I am an Eagle Scout, a graduate of the University of Idaho, and an avid SCUBA diver. We both love traveling and hiking and, of course, I always bring home lots of specimens from everywhere we go.
My specimens can be found in museums and in private collections all around the world. Each piece is guaranteed to be accurately identified and comes with a detailed label telling the species, composition, and location from where it was recovered. Each specimen is very well padded and packaged for the delivery process, and we will ship to anywhere in the world that has a postal address.
We ship using SF International from our home in Dandong, China.
A shipment will arrive in most countries in 10-15 days. Every package comes with the tracking number provided to the customer as soon as I return from the Post Office.
***Customs, duty, import, or any other associated fees, if there are any, are the sole responsibility of the customer.***
The description alongside each specimen is as accurate as possible. All of the photographs are real and unadulterated - the only editing that is sometimes done is cropping to get the photo to fit nicely in the listing. Please be aware that colors may vary slightly due to the display settings of your particular device. Inquiries are welcomed! If you have any questions or have special shipping requirements please ask. I respond as quickly as possible. Please be aware that we are in the China Standard Time Zone (CST) (GMT+8).
Each specimen you see is precisely the specimen you will receive. There will never be substitutions or 'pulled from a box of them' (I hate it when shops do that!). You will always receive the specimen that is shown in the photo in the listing. We accept PayPal, WeChat Pay, and Bank Transfers.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to NearEarthExploration.
