How do international orders outside the US work?
For orders shipping outside the United States, your international shipping rates will not be calculated automatically at checkout.
Please proceed with checking out using your preferred secure payment method. Once I physically weigh your package, I will send a separate invoice straight to your email for the exact remaining shipping cost due.
Shipping rates are calculated precisely based on your global location and the final weight of your package. If you would love to receive an approximate shipping quote before formally placing your order, simply send me an email and I will happily calculate an estimate for you!
Why did a crystal disappear or lock up in my cart?
When you place a one-of-a-kind crystal into your shopping cart, our system instantly tags it as “adopted” to prevent anyone else from taking it.
However, because shopping carts are frequently abandoned across the internet, the software is programmed to automatically release crystals back into active inventory after a set time limit (currently 30 minutes).
Because of this protective boundary, a crystal can slip back into the public catalog if your checkout screen is left open too long. Local browser caching can also make a crystal look like it is still in your cart even if the hold has expired, preventing a final checkout.
The Easy Workaround: If you fall completely in love with a specific specimen, place it in your cart and complete your checkout immediately!
It is 100% fine to make multiple separate orders while you browse. Simply type “Still Shopping” in the order comments box at checkout, and then write “Finished” on your final order. Because US shipping is entirely free, I will happily combine all your separate orders into one beautifully packed parcel on total autopilot!
Why do some crystal photos appear sideways?
Every single crystal photograph is completely upright and clear when I upload them into my studio media library.
However, our background e-commerce cart code occasionally runs into a random formatting glitch that turns images on their side on certain browser layouts.
I am actively working alongside our shopping cart developer to pin down this background script conflict. I deeply appreciate your grace and patience as we navigate this tech wrinkle, and I sincerely apologize for any neck aches caused while viewing our beautiful crystal friends.
What are the shipping costs for my order?
For all orders shipping within the United States, your delivery is now completely 100% Free!
For international collectors, shipping is calculated precisely by weight and destination country after your order is formally placed.

Does Arkansas Crystal Works offer any satisfaction guarantees?
Absolutely. If you ever feel hesitant about placing an order, or if you need extra clarity about any crystal on the website, please send me an email. I am always truly delighted to answer questions about size, unique features, or energetic frequencies so you can feel completely confident in your selection.
Conversely, if your order arrives and you are unsatisfied for any reason whatsoever once you get your crystals home, simply send me an email. I will gladly arrange a hassle-free return for you, no questions asked.
I only ask that you package the specimen just as carefully as it was received to prevent any damage in the return mail. Once the crystal safely arrives back at my workspace, I will immediately issue a full refund of your purchase price. Your total peace of mind and satisfaction are 100% guaranteed!
