Rare Crystal & Pewter Embellished Geode
|
| |
Brought over from the States, this crystal geode has been embellished with miniature pewter gold miners panning for gold, complete with a pair of mules at the base of the 'mountain' with 2 more miners on the 'rock face'. Gold dust and sealant have then been added to produce an unusual crystal and pewter combination.
If you are a collector of rocks and fossils, this will be an interesting addition, mined as it is from the Utah Valley and crafted by local craftsmen. The geode is mounted on a Wonderstone base.
This is unique to the States, so save on your air fare, carbon emissions and hard-earned money by bidding on this item in the Uk.

I'll leave the pics to describe this best. Please note any items displayed are not included, but to give an idea of scale.
As with all my listings, this is a vintage item and as such does come with some evidence of age. If you are looking for pristine condition, then this might not be for you. I do try to give an accurate description of the condition, as I hope my feedback testifies, but this is always relative. I would urge you, therefore, where possible to arrange a viewing by prior appointment to satisfy yourself prior to bidding.
Do bear in mind that Ebay final prices often reflect the fact that an item is being bought sight unseen and, there is, therefore, always an element of risk, which is why it is always preferable to buy from a Reputable Power Seller like ourselves, with a long-established 100% Positive Feedback Rating. That said, the end price is likely to be much lower than you would pay in an antique shop where the cost of overheads is built in to the retail price.
Thank you for looking!
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT OR TWO TO REFER TO THE PAYMENT & SHIPPING TERMS BELOW.

FULL DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE BY CLICKING ON THE 'ABOUT ME' LINK (me) NEXT TO THE POWER SELLER SYMBOL under 'Meet the Seller' at the top of this listing. Please note that while we are not a Retail Shop, we do offer a continuous changing stock of Antiques & Vintage items that are likely to be alot less than you would pay in any conventional antiques shop.
Would the successful bidder please make contact via email or phone within 24 hours of the auction close to notify me of their intentions regarding payment & collection/delivery. My contact details will be noted on the invoice sent upon auction close.
Would International Bidders please note that payment from overseas can only be accepted via Pay Pal.
UK TRANSACTIONS:
1.
Please email for arrangements if you are planning to collect
personally. Please note that our courier's driver is not authorised to
accept cash on our behalf, representing, as they do, a separate
company. We will notify you upon close of the transaction if we are
able to offer personal delivery, in which case an alternative method of
payment might be possible. Please email in advance to ensure this is
possible.
2. Personal Cheque: I allow 5 working days' clearance of cheques from banking, so please bear this in mind if you require your item quickly. As we are in a village, it is not always possible to bank cheques on the day of receipt. You might want to consider an alternative method, if so. Would you please make cheques payable to J. Willis - not Owl Cottage Collectables.
3. Pay Pal: If you wish to pay by Debit or Credit Card it is easy to do so via Pay Pal. It is the Seller who is charged for this service and while we do not pass this cost on to the customer, we would appreciate prompt payment via Pay Pal. It can take up to 5 days for a Pay Pal payment to be transferred to our bank account - so if you delay payment by Pay Pal, this delays our reimbursement costs to that extent + the extra 5 days!
NON-PAYMENT
Unfortunately, I have now had my fair share of non-paying bidders so I regretfully have to point out that a Payment Reminder will be sent automatically after 5 days via Ebay.
After 7 days a Non-Paying Bidder dispute will be opened and if no satisfactory response is received during this process, you will receive an unpaid item strike. There should be no necessity for it to get to this stage, if the buyer emails or phones to say there was a good reason why they had bid but have now had to delay payment. Communication really is the key to a trouble-free transaction.

Feedback & Detailed Seller Rating Stars:
When you give 4 stars, you might think this is a good score - for instance you might interpret a 4 in Shipping Time to mean "Quickly". However, EBay, considers this a sub-par mark. Their standards require sellers to maintain 4.8 & above or penalise the seller with higher fees & more.
I strive for 5-star service by giving an accurate description, stating up front my policies, my shipping rates & my payment terms. Upon close of an auction, I will email the buyer straight away with an invoice, and if it is an item of furniture, with my contact number and recommended method of shipping, if required.
If you were pleased with this transaction, please respond with all 5 stars! If you are not pleased, let me know via e-mail, and I'll work to make it that way.
Let's work together to make a great Ebay community, full of good bargains & a pleasure for all. And by keeping our fees as low as possible, we can ensure our fixed prices remain affordable to all. Thank you.
Insurance:
Contrary to what some sellers might lead you to believe, bulk couriers do not insure for damage in transit of antique items of furniture and, very often, any furniture that is not described as 'flat-packed'. Shipment via this method is therefore at the buyer's own risk and any claim for compensation will need to be in accordance with the specific courier's terms.
If using Abbey or Eazimove, they do include insurance in their final quotation for damage in transit. Photos of the damage will be required and any claim will need to be made direct by you, their customer, direct with them.
In regard to smaller items that might be sent via bulk courier, proof of postage and/or tracking number, where applicable, will be obtained. Any claim will need to be processed via their normal claims procedure which can take several weeks. Please send photos of damage and retain all packaging.
