PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP
You'll find information on how our Platinum
membership works at the bottom of this page--first, here are some photos and
information on the minerals we've featured the past few months:
OCTOBER 2008 MINERAL: SMITHSONITE
 
The photos above give an idea of some of the Smithsonite
specimens that Platinum members can order during October. The piece on the left
measures about 3" across and 4" high and is offered for $80, and the specimen on
the right measures about 2.5" across and 2" high for $50. Details on becoming a
Platinum member can be found at the bottom of this page.

SEPTEMBER MINERAL: AGATE
 
Platinum members had the opportunity in September to order a
beautiful polished slice of agate from Soledade, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The
piece on the left is about 5.5" high and 5.5" wide for $26.50; the specimen on
the right was about 7" across and 4.5" high for $40. We have slices up to about
15" across and 12" high for $200. We still have some excellent pieces
available, so let us know if you'd like more information or ordering one!

AUGUST MINERAL: MOOKAITE JASPER
The photo above is of a $65 Mookaite jasper specimen, which
measures about 7" across and 3.25" high. The photo below is of a $60 specimen
about 9" across and 3.25" high. Platinum members have the opportunity to order
a similar piece, as small as about 4" by 5" up to about 13" across, from $30 for
the smallest to $120 for the biggest and best.

JULY MINERAL: STICHTITE
 
 Here
are photos of the stichtite in serpentinite we offered our Platinum members
during July. The specimen in the top left photo is about 4" across and 2" high
for $40. The top right photo shows a specimen about 4" across and 2.5" high, and
the photo to the right shows a $90 piece that is 7" across and 5" high. Shipping
via the Post Office is free for all Club members in the United States.

JUNE MINERAL: ZIRCON
  
Zircon, Mud Tank Carbonatite, Harts Ranges, Northern Territory, Australia,
our June 2008 featured mineral. The Platinum-level piece on the left is about 1"
high by .75" across for $30; the middle specimen is about 2" high by almost 1.5"
across for $60; and the third ghostly-looking photo shows the middle specimen in
shortwave ultraviolet light.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAY MINERAL: ADAMITE
Adamite, Ojuela Mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico, our May 2008 featured
mineral. This Platinum level piece is about 3.25" across and 2" high and sold
for $70.
Our volume buying power (we buy at least 600 pieces of each Club-featured
mineral) often means we can obtain especially nice specimens at lower than
average prices, and we pass the savings on to Club members.
This is how our Platinum level works: We E-mail or call each Platinum member
each month with details about the featured mineral specimen's size, crystal
quality, matrix, etc., and price. For those whom we contact via E-mail, we
always include a photo of a typical specimen at the bottom of the E-mail. Then
you can let us know whether to send you a specimen or not. Once you receive it,
if for any reason they are not happy with it, you can box it right back up and
send it back, for full credit, less shipping.
Most Platinum-size specimens will be in the $30--$70 price range, with the
option to purchase a larger/better piece for more, depending on the
size/quality/rarity/newness of the find of the monthly mineral. Some Platinum
Club members have indicated to us a size range and/or price range they would
prefer each month, and we are happy to work with them on it.
Platinum members always have the option of obtaining a regular Deluxe-size or
Junior-size specimen at the regular price, or of passing on that month's
mineral. Of course, all Platinum members get the same write-up, newsletter,
etc., as other members, even in months when they pass on the specimen.
