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

[Julie Siebel]

Wow, some cool stuff there! I'm tryin' to keep it under $100 (hence just a 
little bit of gold) so I think we'll probably go with micros.

(My other problem is that if I got one of those puppies from irocks.com, I 
think I'd want to keep it, not give it away :)

Thanks! I'm bookmarking 'em.

Julie
