EARTH SCIENCE COLLECTIONS Our standard mineral, rock, and combination kits are quality built using the best specimens available for the price. A heavy quality cardboard box with heavy cardboard partitions and a pleasing exterior color is used. Soft or fragile specimens are separately wrapped for shipping protection. A cover sheet and identification key is provided and all specimens are numbered unless specified otherwise. Two sizes of kits are available; a 1"x1" and a 2"x2" specimen size. Some specimens may be smaller (crystals, cleavage fragments, etc.). | |||||

All mineral, rock, and fossil specimens are visually inspected by professionals for quality. Sizes of specimens are very close to size ordered—occasionally we will send material that may be slightly smaller than ordered to conserve material but the quality will be as good or better than stated. We also may send a size smaller (price adjusted) than ordered if the larger size is not available. Because of the continuing loss of localities and shortage of suitable material, some items may be out of stock. We try to have all items available but sometimes it is impossible.
