Service
Minerals are often heavy, sometimes very fragile and, in collector formats, genuinely large. Our shipping is set up for all of it, from a single bag of tumbled stones to a geode weighing tonnes.
Standard parcel
Standard range items up to 31.5 kg. Free shipping from an order value of 100 euros within Germany, otherwise a flat rate of 5.90 euros. Tracking link by email after shipping.
Large pieces
Geodes, sculptures and gallery formats from 31.5 kg go by freight with a firmly arranged delivery day. Installation service on request.
International
EU shipping without customs formalities. Outside the EU with individual calculation. Insured DHL Express or fine-art freight for collector's pieces.
We pack every piece so that it comes through transport just as it stands in our warehouse. Small formats in natural wood wool and a double-wall box. Medium formats in a custom-made cushioning chamber with a reinforced outer box. Collector's geodes from 20 kg on special pallets with bracing and lashing straps. On request we document the packaging with photos before shipping, free of charge.
