One last blast of Tucson! - Before leaving Tucson I paid a vist to Ken Roberts. Ken makes regular trips to China and I was surprised to see the quality of the specimens he had and the prices he was asking in comparison to the numerous Chinese dealers at Tucson who had material of lesser quality and an extra zero on the end of the prices!  He also had a selection of non-Chinese minerals from various locations.

It is time for more Gold! - On the way home from Tucson I stopped by to see my pal Scott Werschky in Reno, Nevada and picked up a small hoard of exceptionally well crystallized gold specimens.  Most are from Round Mountain but there are also a few nice pieces from California and Idaho to round out this update.

Pegmatite minerals!! - I recently visited with two of the people behind the Rogerley Mine fluorite operation while in San Francisco. Jesse Fisher and his wife Joan Kureczka have an extensive collection of minerals from world wide pegmatites. They are deaccessioning specimens from their collection and I am pleased to offer some of them on this page. In particular are a nice group of specimens from the various mines in Pala and the Mesa Grande Districts of San Diego County, California.

GOLD!!! - These gold specimens were first offered back in March. Since then the price of gold has dropped about 10%. Hence, after discussions with Scott Werschky he agreed that reducing the prices on these was the right thing to do. Prices have been dropped anywhere from 10% to 15% !
