#74046, Diamond (0.71 carat gem-grade
yellow octahedral rough diamond), Diamantino, Brazil (t) $930
I am on a long-earned post-Covid vacation for a few weeks. However I brought
with me some of my inventory so I can still ship orders. And I will be making
periodic trips back to NYC to ship any orders that were backlogged.
It is exciting to be able to travel again, and get out hiking, mineral
collecting, biking ,and foraging for mushrooms. And to do it without wearing
a mask. Yes, both my wife and I are vaccinated. And hope you are too, or
that you get it soon. It is a great mental relief to be able to stop worrying
about Covid-19.
At this time, I am uncertain how long my vacation will last. I need new minerals
to post. If I locate any to post I will rush home and get back to the old
routine. I'll keep you informed via my email announcements. Sign-up for my

Customer Feedback:
"I want to thank you for the natrolite specimen I received yesterday. It
arrived in perfect condition. The care you took to package such a delicate
specimen it was incredible, four layers of protection and stabilized in the
inner box with mineral tack! Having recently moved my collection to a new
house I understand the time it takes to carefully pack specimens. The care
you took was really above and beyond reasonable expectations. Steven H."
"On Tuesday this week we ordered (from the UK) a specimen of Prehnite from
Upper New Street Quarry. This was posted by yourself the same day. It has
got to be the most magnificent Prehnite we have ever seen and we cannot thank
you enough for it. Also your excellent service and very fast delivery. We
have had items sent to us from this country taking several days. Best wishes.
Michele and Stuart"
