The shipping charges are shown. If you missed it you could just ask. Check out the cost of speedmail, packaging, transport and time. I could not make a living off the postage costs. The photo is a good representation of the actual stone. If you are that unhappy send it back for a refund less postage and 10% handling charge. Responded 05 Oct 2007
