We accept cash, checks, money orders or wire transfers, credit cards and PayPal.ģ. BUYER’S PREMIUM & INSURANCE: There will be a 25% Buyer’s Premium added to the sale price (hammer) of each lot. The placing of a bid shall constitute the bidder’s acceptance of these terms of sale.Ģ. This is a Live Auction conducted by Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC (HWAC).ġ. If paying by Credit Card please call our office at 77 to arrange payment. ![]() Many items may require special handling and would incur additional handling and shipping costs way beyond those anticipated. We encourage you to pick up items after the auction. Please consider extra costs of shipping and handling charges when you make your purchases. We will then re-invoice you for any additional charges. After initial payment we will pack your shipment and print shipping label. Large, heavy or fragile items will incur extra shipping charge. Pick up is available from our Reno office the next business day after the auction. All items shipped Federal Express or USPS will be insured for the full value determined at auction by HWAC, which is included in our buyer’s premium. ![]() Purchases will be shipped via our approved, insured carriers: Federal Express or the US Postal Service. The customer is responsible for all shipping charges. The buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipment of large or special items. NOTE: Some shipments (of unusual size, dimension, or weight) may require special handling for which individual costs will be calculated and applied to the shipping charge on the invoice. Every effort will be made to include all lots in a single shipping charge calculated to cover the weight and size of the package(s). Items are not shipped until the invoice is completely paid. If additional shipping and handling costs are required, the buyer will be reinvoiced for the balance due. All shipping is subject to a minimum charge of $19.00. SHIPPING & HANDLING: Shipping and Handling cannot be estimated prior to invoicing, based on the size and weight of your purchase. What causes such a precious-metal-rich solution is debatable, but that is the subject of our continued investigations.This fee applies to the total of the invoice Thus physical transport and deposition textures seem to indicate the presence of strongly precious-metal-enriched ore forming fluids, which led to (not surprisingly) the bonanza grades of these remarkable ores. We can infer by analogy to silica that this also implies that ore-forming solutions contained elevated (supersaturated) dissolved concentrations of both gold and silver that formed colloidal particles under disequilibrium (often chaotic) conditions. ![]() Ore-mineral textures from some western USA bonanza epithermal ores indicate that two precious-metal phases (electrum and naumannite, Ag2Se) form colloidal particles that are transported by ore-forming fluids and are deposited either by aggregation (by sticking to other precious metal-particles) to make dendrites, or are deposited on the “lee” side of protrusion along vein walls (or perhaps by both processes). Also, in some deposits, amorphous silica is co-deposited with precious-metal minerals, such as electrum in the banded super-bonanza ores of the Sleeper deposit (NV). We have previously demonstrated that such colloidal silica particles were deposited in epithermal veins as silica gels and opal, which may later progress along a path to crystallize into more thermodynamically favored (less-soluble) silica phases such as quartz and chalcedony. This implies ore-forming solutions had elevated concentrations of dissolved silica, well in excess of amorphous silica saturation. It is reasonably clear that disequilibrium or “far-from equilibrium” conditions lead to the formation of silica colloids and their deposition in many epithermal deposits. ![]()
