Minas Gerais Vogal With several different inclusions.

I just had to share this spectacular piece here. I know some people won't like that its been cut/ faceted but I think it allows you to see more!

I have genuinely never came across such a piece. It was described as Smokey Citrine by Supplier, but I lean Smokey Quartz. Eitherway its the inclusions which are amazing!

Rainbow Inclusions

Golden Rutile Inclusions

Garden Inclusions

Phantom Inclusions

I have never came across such a piece before and its cut with 24 faces!

It finally happened, 1st 1 star review.

So Ive had my etsy shop now almost a year. It will be a year on the 26th of this month! I have had just over 500 sales. I have 162 reviews and finally it happened. I got my first 1 star review.

(I sell fossils, crystals and minerals for reference)

So the background is this. A customer from the US order a meteorite slice from me (im based in the UK). They used a discount code, and where brought in from an off-site ad. 3 hours after they purchased they asked for me to cancel the order. Now my shop has a no cancellation policy as ive got an order and within 20 minutes ive had it packaged and dropped down to the post office. (Just depends what im doing when an order comes through)

I had already bought the postage for this item, paid the customs and had everything ready to go and had dispatched it. I explained this to the customer and she was like but I want to cancel it. So i said id speak with etsy.

Etsy basically said they would side with me and support my shop policy etc and as a solution the customer could simply post the product back when they receive it or if they are happy to accept a partial refund minus postage costs etc.

Went back to the customer, explained it, gave them what the refund amount would be etc and they where like just send the item. They thanked me and said they understood etc.

I then flagged everything with etsy and warned that they may try something or give a 1 star review.

Well today I got the 1 star review...

"I do not recommend x"

Whats infuriating is obviously its an opinion, doesnt explain anything or that they even said for me to send the item etc... I figure there is zero point reporting this to etsy as it probably won't be taken down... but what should I do? Do I message her being all polite being like was there any issues with the product etc or do I reply to the review?

I probably shouldnt complain too much as im now a 4.9 stars out of 5 and it makes my shop look more real. But im just really annoyed because if I could have cancelled the order I would have! I may have avoided having to pay offsite ad fees on the item which had lots of likes 🙃

Advice wanted!

Behold

Look what arrived today!

So the information I have was this was dug up in the early 2000's, it has the original plaster jacket.

The species is unfortunately prognathodon (so god knows what it really is), well identified as such. Its 55cm across. Its massive!

As far as the love to throw around the word composite. There is relatively little. The bone is all real and appropriate to the specimen, most likely arranged from when it was dug out. Teeth seem to match and look original.

Obviously there will be people here who are much more of an expert of this, but mainly just wanted to show how cool it was!

Obviously if you have a better ID etc that would be great

July Sales

Has anyone else's july been a little insane?

Like im normally 25-30 sales a month since Jan. Maybe 2k gross...

But this... this is like ridiculous. And I have no idea whats happening? My shop isnt a year old. This in month 9.

I sell fossils, crystals and minerals so the market is pretty saturated... is anyone else having a better than normal month? Or is this an oddity? Like its great, but also makes me a little worried for Christmas as I work full time and my etsy is a side business...
