[Rockhounds] AD: New Benitoites and other classics from old stock

[Tom Corson]

Dave,

Yes, sorry about that. All the Benitoites sold out within *minutes* of my
announcing them.

When I said they were priced to sell, even I didn't think they would go THAT
fast! :-)

Now, the good news is I am getting more tomorrow afternoon and will have
them up on the site tomorrow evening. Anyone who is interested and missed
out, just email me off list and I will send you an email when they are up so
you can have first crack at them. They will be miniatures (very nice
miniatures) priced from $30-$75, most probably around $40 or $50.

Now, also turns out, I am going to be evaluating some which my source tells
me have Benitoite crystals up to an inch across! I don't even know the price
yet. It won't be cheap obviously for something in that size class, but my
source is very reasonable in his pricing and I am passing that along to my
customers. So, anyone who covets a "killer" Benitoite, email me off list and
I provide photos/pricing as soon as I have the "goods" (again, late
tomorrow).

Thanks again and sorry they went so fast!

Cheers,
TC
