Build your collection with confidence

As collections evolve, it is natural to refine, upgrade, and make room for stronger material. To support that process, we offer a Lifetime Trade-In Policy. Any specimen purchased from Cross Minerals may be traded in at any time at its original purchase price toward a more valuable specimen in current inventory. We stand behind the material we offer and do not buy or sell pieces we would not be glad to own again.

Example
A specimen purchased for $4,000 may later be applied in full toward a specimen priced at $10,000, with the remaining $6,000 paid as the balance.

Eligibility

• For specimens originally purchased at $5,000 or less, the new specimen must be priced at least $2,500 higher.

• For specimens originally purchased above $5,000, the new specimen must be priced at least 50% higher.

Example: A $2,000 specimen may not be traded toward another $2,000 specimen, but may be applied toward one or more specimens totaling at least $4,500.

Terms

• Trade-in value equals the original amount paid to Cross Minerals in USD.

• This policy remains valid for as long as the original purchaser retains ownership of the specimen.

• To receive full trade-in value, the specimen must be returned in the same condition as when originally sold.

• Damage, repair, restoration, lab work, or other alteration may reduce trade-in value. Specimens damaged beyond repair are not eligible.

• All trade-in specimens must be returned for inspection prior to completion of the transaction.

• Clients assume all shipping risk on returned items.

• One specimen may be used as trade-in per transaction.

• Trade-ins may not be combined with discounts or promotional offers.

• Eligible replacement specimens are subject to current inventory.

• We intend to honor all good-faith trade-ins, but reserve the right to decline any request that falls outside the spirit of this policy. Any exceptions are made solely at our discretion.
