    Communication with the seller was great. They also provided contact information if there’s any problems on a sticker on my item packaging. The item was exactly as described. They look in really good condition. Shipping was quick and the value was great. Recommend highly the seller.

    Item arrived just as described / shown in the provided images and was fair value. Arrived from across the country in a week. Box / packaging arrived a little worn (and the packing tape on top came loose which is concerning) but I would blame this on USPS. Would buy again!

    Not a kid’s book

    This book is for PROS, not lay people or young kids interested in rocks. It’s rich with information but doesn’t explain what the 17 letter scientific terms mean for people who don’t already understand the terminology.
