Quartz with Limonite Phantoms
LiveDescription
Quartz crystals are included with dark limonite in this piece. The limonite inclusions, though difficult to tell through photographs, have formed solid looking phantoms inside most of the crystals. The matrix is made up of platy barite crystals. A gorgeous specimen from recent finds!

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.
