    Sorry it took so long to get to you but I had to do some major trimming on the trilobite before shipping it weighed 9lbs after about 4oz. The nice orange mineral is my favorite that little crystal goes for about 20 to 25$ you have to love wulfenite. Most of the coin are tones my other love image I hope you like those nice little treats.

    Well I wouldnt go as far as to say those so called airtights are that airtight. They are just flip boxes and not very airtight. Most of what is in there I have personally collected. The flourite the Brachapod and the crytal of gypsum (the thing laying down) and the oiled dogtooth calcite. The Trilobite came in a chunck a friend sent me from his collecting in Morocco. Everything I have collected has a story with it. the wulfenite and the azurite I bought for some gem and mineral dealers I know. I hope you like the stuff I sent you Compa

    Yes I like your stuff very much--once I also have collected minerals and stones, but now I have only some stones (still interesting , BTW) so I enjoyed that stuff! image

    But about what ship coin you are speaking, Indianabyron? Do you mean 200 lire , Italy--it shows "sails" -filatalestic exb. comm, something like that -- actually not real shipcoin--but I also put it into my naval theme album.
    Or you are speaking about some other coin? image

    Edited to add: And I really like your mineral's boxes, it doesn't matter you couldn't call them "airtite" image I just like the idea of personal box for each mineral!
