    What others say about us...

I took a random pick of some of the letters we have received and only left out the names of my valued customers (for privacy reasons.)

 

Greetings Annalie and Gerdus: Received the package of 3 of the Jan Coetzee quartzes. Excellent!!!! If you have a spot on your website for "customer comments" I'll leave a good one. Really nice pieces and a welcome addition to the collection. Looking forward to the 4th piece. Thank you also for the good wrapping and packing job. I'll let you know when the other arrives. Thanks again

Gerdus

You got me sold! 

Knowing that my latest specimens are coming from halfway 

around the world and from beautiful South Africa (which I hope 

to get the chance to travel to some day), they will have a special 

place in my mineral specimen collection.  I have seen some specimen 

of Bornite and Chalcopyrite available in the U.S. and they don't look 

as good as the pictures of the specimens you took for me. 

 

Best Wishes *@+&#!!*

 

Hi Gerdus! The rocks you send are beautiful!!! 

Perfect, Thank you very much for all the time and effort to get them here.

 I'm very happy with the order and will do business again with you, hopefully 

a much larger order next time. Thanks again Gerdus for hand picking such beautiful rock!

Dear Gerdus,

Hello. I received my first package from you today. I think all of specimens in it are very fine! 

And I liked them. Thank you!!

 

           Dear Gerdus,

    Thanks for the great order!  Everything came in fine as usual and the pieces 

    are just fantastic.  I love the tray of cerussites.  There are some real 

    nice specimens in there.  The Malgaliesburgs are great, I love the tall 

    columns of crystals.  The Tsumeb stuff just keeps getting better and better! 

      I especially like the large azurite, the chalcedony, and the smithsonite 

    w/terminated galena.  That cyano trichtite is just outragious looking but I 

    have NO idea what the fair market price on it would be.  Could you suggest 

    something?  The Quartz you sent me is just great.  The hematite quartz are 

    great and I would love some more trays like this in the orders ahead.  There 

    isn't anyting in that order I would have liked to change.  Great stuff!

 

 

Dear Gerdus, 

Hi, the package has arrived!!  They are so very beautiful, much more 

than I was expecting!!  Thank you so much for selling them to me!  It has 

been great buying from you but now it is time to move on! I am leaving you a 

POSITIVE feedback!!  Thanks so much!

Gerdus,

 The specimens arrived today and they are all great. Some for resale and some to keep for awhile. I will have to compare the hematite with the one I have put away in flats somewheres.

 

Hello Gerdus,

 I just received the package and found all the specimens in

good shape.

 I'm very happy to be able to obtain  nice specimens like these

with VERY reasonable prices again.

 Alexandrite, Euclase, Amethyst, Quartz specimens were

all impressive. And they were faithfully described by you.

 I do hope that our association will last long, too.  

 

Best Regards

 

Hi, Gerdus. I received the parcel and am very impressed with the new crystal and others.     Thanx so much, from ^@@!^

 

Dear Gerdus,

I just got back from Orlando last night.  The

richterite package arrived just fine.  And this

morning I checked your website and saw the new rough

you put up.  Wish I could afford to buy all your sugilite

and richterite.  Your prices are fantastically low! 

 

Gerdus

 I continue to work on the material you sent me.  I am enjoying working with it.  The malachite is challenging, but I am experimenting and getting some interesting cuts.  In the process, I lose a few to fractures and hidden cracks.  Hopefully, I'll get better the more experience I get.

 Had a couple friends from the local rock club over and they enjoyed looking the malachite over and selecting some pieces for themselves.  I traded crystal samples to one of them, and sold about 9 - 10 kilograms to the other.  They were very impressed with the quality of the material.

 Could you give me your mailing address?  I have a slab of Missouri lace agate, that I'd like to send to you.  We found this material on a recent collection trip (brought home about 400 kg).  I doubt if you've had an opportunity to see it before.  Not too thick, but it does work up well into cabs.

 Hope all is well with you.  Sounds like you remain very busy!  I enjoy your newsletter, please continue to send it.

 

Hi Gerdus,

The mottramite specimen arrived today and is just wonderful.  Thank you so much.  I have enjoyed the newsletter.  Please keep it coming.

Take care

 

Gerdus

The ajoite piece arrived this afternoon. It's quite something, a lot going on in there. I thought I also saw some black tourmaline in a few places - would that be possible? Anyway, it must have taken you two hours to pack this thing, I really appreciate your care with the piece. I know it will be enjoyed for many years to come.  Thanks again-

 

Hi Gerdus 

I received the quartz today and am quite happy with all 4 pieces, thank you so much.   I have a feeling I'll be back to your website again.

 

Gerdus,  The Malachite arrived today.  Mother nature is a wonderous    

concept...nature is awe inspiring !  The piece is stunning in its beauty!  No 

picture could ever do it justice. 

 

  Thank you for having patience with my impatience.  All good things do come 

to those who wait...patiently, next time

 

Dear Gerdus,

 

Got your package already and we are very, very pleased. Your specimens are wonderful, I'm sure we'll be happy to work with you again in the near future.

 

I'll leave you feedback right now.  Appreciate your thoughtful, careful packaging of these stones also.
