The shipping was super fast, as in shipped Monday and in my mailbox by Wednesday! The packaging was TOP NOTCH everything was nice and neatly packed in its own little bubble wrap. The specimen was as described. The value was fantastic as well! As per normal I will continue to do business with this seller.

Extremely fast shipping, packaging with safety in mind, item is MORE than described, and value was good! Only complaint would be the shipping cost is a little high, pay $9 for the item but still cost $25 for shipping/cost/taxes......... ouch! Will buy again based on trust after receiving items!

Beautiful crystals with color just like the photos. It was carefully wrapped in tissue and bubble wrap and shipped with another item I bought. Both arrived safely. It also came with a little card identifying it and its locality. Great seller. Thank you.

Specimens won in an auction. The mineral specimens matched their descriptions and the videos depicted the specimens accurately. Any discrepancies associated with a mineral are always indicated accurately. The size of the specimen is always accurately indicated. Great videos of the specimen that allows the buyer to inspect the specimen. The packaging and shipping was great. They also refunded my account for combined shipping of two specimens. This is a first rate, great dealer to buy from.

Open-Adit West comes through again, another beautiful specimen well described, well packaged, and shipped quick. Value is certainly subjective here, but only to a degree, and my purchases here always meet my expectations and leave me feeling thankful and as though I've succeeded in obtaining a great product for a great value.

The best most trusted mineral seller on eBay. This was another great piece I won at auction for an amazing price.
I've bought over 20 specimens from this store which is based in Tucson. Every transaction has gone smoothly, good packaging, fast shipping, and responsive service. The photos and videos in the listing are always exact. I've never felt ripped off or deceived in any way, which is why I always come back for more!
