Local pickup only (no shipping).

I wonder how much it would cost to send...

Hmmmm, I wonder what the Brazilian Environmental Resources Agency (IBAMA) thinks about this? The government gets really picky about its natural resources being mined for profit by groups that it hasn't approved of. It's hard to get licensing to ship semi-precious gems abroad. Suppose this guy has it?

(The talk of shipping it reminds me of this book, which is quite a good one if you're in the mood for a science-action-thriller kind of junky popcorn read.)

Given the "local shipping only", sounds like a no-brainer that the answer is no.

So I guess this auction is for people who want to be proud owners of a quartz cluster that lives in Brazil.

I'm thinking carry-on luggage. Who'd notice an 1100-lbs rock?

Did you pack your quartz cluster yourself and has anybody had access to your quartz cluster after you packed it?
