MINERAL SALES What minerals do you offer for sale? If you come here in person: Our normal stock includes minerals from the zinc mines here at Sterling Hill and nearby Franklin, worldwide fluorescent minerals, many types of inexpensive “student” minerals, collector minerals for the novice to advanced collector, large “garden rocks”, plus an ever-changing inventory of miscellaneous worldwide minerals that we obtain from numerous sources. We also offer bulk sales of minerals from the Sterling Hill mine (see below). If you order by mail: On our web site we offer fluorescent minerals from Sterling Hill, either by the pound for individual minerals or in mixed lots of 8-10 pounds each (Click Here for details). No other minerals are available via mail order at this time. Do you have minerals for sale that are not listed on your web site? Yes, but these must be purchased in person. The selection changes from week to week, and many are one-of-a-kind specimens not listed on our web site. See previous answer for more information of what is normally available. Is there a quantity discount for bulk sales? Not for material collected outdoors on our grounds – the cost is $1.50 per pound regardless of amount taken. For specimens selected from our general stock of worldwide and fluorescent minerals, however, customers buying in quantity may be offered a courtesy discount. What are the associated pickup or delivery requirements for bulk sales? For pickup orders, you, the buyer, select the material you want, have it weighed, pay for it, load it, and take it away. For delivery, we ship large orders via UPS truck freight, but please remember that freight charges are now quite steep. You are responsible for calling UPS before placing your order to determine freight charges for the poundage you want, and then adding that amount to the check you send to us. No orders will be processed without prior payment. Click here for further details on ordering procedure. What about customized mail orders, such as selecting large pieces for carving? We will fill such orders, but please add $0.50 per pound for custom selection. |
