[Rockhounds] Old Gold: Need small, reasonably priced mineral sample.

[Julie Siebel]

John's Sis is celebrating her 50th anniversary in a few weeks, and we're 
driving to Montana to help them celebrate.

The "traditional gift" for a 50th anniversary is gold. I thought it'd be 
cool to give them a tiny, old (collected in 1958 would be ideal, but I have 
no hope of that - lol) mineral sample that included a bit of gold. Anybody 
got an idea of where I'd find something cool like that, and anyone know what 
something like this might cost? I've got no clue on cost, though I'm 
suspecting we won't be able to do this! lol - it just sounded like a cool 
idea :)

I'm not overly particular, just something interesting, preferably old, 
definitely with a collection date, that includes gold.

Probably this would be a good "reply off list" thing, unless you can think 
of a reason it would be of interest to others.

Thanks for any direction...
