Updated May 6th, 2013 Page 9 - Rare, Fluorescent Franklin & Sterling Hill Fluorescent Minerals Nine Pages of Minerals For Sale The Franklin show is this weekend, April 27-28, and I am setting up a display of Worldwide Calcites at the show. Hopefully, I will be able to obtain some great material at the show on Saturday to offer you. I am still digging through my collection to come up with some interesting pieces to offer. Hope you find lots of good material for your collections. The Second Edition of Collecting Fluorescent Minerals gets great reviews. Mistakes in the first edition that were brought to my attention by FMS and FOMS members were corrected. There are also new, never seen before, pieces in the second edition. It has a blue cover with photos rather than the black cover. You can order a copy from me for $28.00 postpaid (in the US) if your local bookseller doesn't have one. Minerals and books can be purchased using personal checks, money orders, and Paypal. My address is Stuart Schneider, P.O. Box 64, Teaneck, NJ 07666 and my Paypal name and email address is Stuarts1031@ erols.com (note, I put a space in my email address so that automatic email harvesters don't get my email address). Postage and handling, and insurance (if you want it) will be added to your order once the weight is figured. I mail using the US Postal Service with delivery confirmation. Email me to reserve the item numbers that you want and don't forget to include your name and address if you are a new customer. Terms: You can return any item to me within 10 days for any reason. If I misdescribed it, I will refund your postage both ways. If you are dissatisfied, you pay postage both ways. All photos are taken under daylight and Short Wave or Long Wave Ultraviolet (I use a SuperBright brand light). If your light is more than a few years old, the item may look bluer than it looks here. NF = non-fluorescent.
