a guide to my gem and mineral museum
2010-11-15 - 6:43 p.m.
� 2010 by elaine radfordPeachfront's Note: I'm slowly working on a project to document my mineral collection.
Most of these items that I describe as items in my personal collection
are not for sale. However, if you really want
to offer a ridiculous price to purchase one of the items, you are free to contact me. I
probably won't agree, at a reasonable price, but if you must have something, I probably
will agree for a ridiculous price. Also, as I sort through, from time to time, I will offer well-priced
items or swaps/freebies either on eBay, the Rock Tumbling Hobby site, or (rarely)
Craigslist. It's only special pets that I overcharge for, so if I'm really looking to
sell something, I strive to make my prices competitive. My seller name would be...wait for it...Peachfront.
