I was a little out of touch with current mineral pricing. (understatement)
Most of these specimens were several thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
I'm going to make a point of dusting off the minerals I already have when I get home.

A good friend works for a firm that just sold a mineral specimen for $250,000. I don't have details about it yet but the transaction proves that someone out there still has plenty of ready cash. I've heard of some of the deep-pockets mineral cognescenti spending as much or more in the past. There's real competition for world-class specimens.
