Mineral Kingdom Auctions
Etched Fluorite
LiveDescription
From the small find at Ojuela Mine in 2019-2020 comes this purple fluorite crystal. The crystals have been hydrothermally etched, resulting in intricate patterning/stepping on some of the faces. The coloring is excellent and the inside has gemmy translucency. A unique crystal for the species! These are becoming increasingly harder to find!

Auction rules
Max bids are automatic. Bids in the final closing window extend the auction so interested bidders have time to respond.

Max bidding
Enter the most you are willing to pay. The site bids only as much as needed to keep you winning, up to your maximum. Your full max bid is not shown publicly.
Bid increments
Bids must be whole-dollar amounts. The minimum next bid follows the current price: $1 increments up to $24, $2 up to $49, $3 up to $74, $4 up to $99, $5 up to $499, $10 up to $999, and $25 at $1,000 or more.
Closing window
When an auction reaches its scheduled close time, it enters a 10-minute closing window. If a valid bid is placed during that window, the auction extends to 10 minutes from that bid. This can happen multiple times, so the auction closes only after 10 minutes pass with no new bids.
This helps prevent last-second sniping and gives interested bidders a fair chance to respond.
Reserve and payment
Some auctions may have a reserve. If the reserve is not met when the auction closes, the item does not sell. If the auction closes with a winning bidder and the reserve is met, an order is created for the winner to choose shipping and pay.
Store discounts
Store discounts and store sales do not apply to auctions. Auction pricing is determined by bidding, reserve rules, and the shipping option selected after winning.
Shipping
Auction shipping is selected during the winner's order flow. Direct shipping and Open Box may be available depending on the order and account. Open Box lets registered buyers combine eligible auction wins and store items for a later shipping invoice.
