"My rocks arrived today. Thank you for the
speedy shipping. I am so pleased with them, especially the celestine
and calcite. But as I am a systematic collector, I'm also very happy to
have the buergerite and analcime. Nice thumbnails of those are not so
easy to come by, especially not at such affordable prices. Thank you
very much!"
"The specimens arrived safely today....The
barites are absolutely stunning, terrific color, clarity and form,
thank you very much."
"Just a quick email to say thanks very
much for the last batch of minerals that I purchased from you. The
giant hubnerite crystal is just amazing. The large poldervaartite is
also very beautiful, and the orpiment/picropharmacolite is extremely
nice and free from damage. Best wishes from Canada."
"...I was able to pick up the seven (in
total) minerals... I am very pleased with every one of them - and was
especially happy about the Brazilianite and Scheelite, both of which
are just beautiful. (Finding these less common minerals, at
prices I can afford, is a challenge!!) Also, the packaging was
excellent. Thanks again for a good website and a most interesting
selection of minerals at good prices."
"The large box of minerals arrived today,
all in perfect condition, and quite magnificent! The Barite is an
absolute stunner, and so is the Cavansite. I don't know when
you're going to update again, but let me know when you do."
"Arsenic specimen arrived in good
condition and is now a proud new
addition to my elements section! Thanks very much for that one! Really
choice!"
"Both specimens arrived today and they are just great. No damage in packing. I am very happy with this purchase. Your description and pictures were good, but the specimens are far better looking in reality. Many thanks for all. I will be on the watch for others you have."
"Thank you for your nice affordable offerings. I wish to order 15 items from your display."
"...got the second package and contents
are AOK. Just want to say
everything was excellent and look forward to doing more buying from
you.....the ferberite/apatite form Portugal makes a excellent display
piece and has a lot to look at under the scope."
"I received the pyrite, and I am very
pleased with it. Thank
you very much. I will certainly buy from you again!"
"I just wanted to say thank you for the
amazing specimens!
Your order processing was fast, the shipping was lightning fast, the
minerals were exquisitely wrapped, and the prices are amazingly
affordable!! I'll definitely be buying from you again! Can you
add me to your email list for website updates?"
"Hey Steve, I nearly forgot to thank you. I appreciate your
making up the fluorite pages... they are really great specimens, and
the packaging, labeling, and shipping was absolutely top notch!!
I hope the rest of those specimens move fast... there were some really
nice ones I had to pass up on."
"The fluorite and aquamarine specimens
arrived today. There was no
damage. I am pleased with them. You have a new customer."
"Thanks so much for getting the package to
us so quickly. I
know you were pressed for time, we want to thank you for your
efforts. .... We love all the items especially the
Aquamarine, the color and size was great!"
"The package with my purchase arrived today. The specimen IS what I
hoped I was buying, and it arrived in excellent condition. That was a
very good packing job."
"I got my package today and was very impressed. Everything is better than I expected. Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you so much."
"I got my rocks today & I would like
to say that I’m extremely
satisfied with
them."
"Hello! I received the minerals and
I am very happy!
Thanks again!"
"Just paying for the minerals you have on
hold for me. Received the other minerals yesterday. The dioptase was
the best one I have seen!!!! Thanks again!"
"The 2 Montana vanadinites I ordered from
you arrived safely this morning. Thanks for excellent packing,
instructions and prompt shipping!!"
"The packaged arrived today in perfect
timing. My son will bring them to school for his project tomorrow.
Thank you very much for the great specimens. They are much better
than the pictures from web pages. We would also like to thank you
for the calcite and amethyst quartz cluster as gifts. Although the
amethyst quartz cluster is a miniature size but has perfect shape and
terminations. I love it. Thanks again for the amazing specimen of
rocks."
"Thanks!! We received them and they are
great!! Great shipping too!! Another satified purchase
from Dragon Minerals!!"
"Thanks for the great specimens which
arrived yesterday. I won't have a chance to study the pyrites up
close before the weekend but they looked impressive and interesting at
first glance. The calcite and even more so the galena were very
pleasant surprises, much better than the photos show. I am very happy
with my items and look forward to visiting your store again."
"Hey Steve! Received your package
last week. Great specimens, good value, detailed labels, well
packed, quick delivery. Thanks"
"I got my first batch of minerals from you today, and am SO PLEASED! They are all beautiful, and I can't wait to see your next installment on your website! Yahooo! It's always exciting to discover (or in this case, [another customer] turned me on to your minerals and your site) a new collector."
