40 Year Old Rock Collection - For Sale

These "sphere preforms" are from my personal collection and are presented here as a separate offering to sphere makers and serious collectors. I will entertain any and all "best offers" over $200.
If you count the total number of individual cuts that went into fabricating all of these pre-forms, it will give you some insight into why I chose $200 as a minimum reserve.

The following images are being retained for archival purposes.

My Rock Collection - which has taken over 40 years to amass - was a wide variety of rocks that I had collected from the Mojave Desert, and have purchased from Estate Sales, as well as, have inherited from Rock Club members who were hunting the Southwestern United States going back to the 1950's!

Since 1980, I've spent over $4000 putting together this collection with acquisitions from silent auctions to estate sales. More than equal to that figure is the value of the specimens that I have self-collected from the deserts. The majority of this 4000 pound rock collection was sold in its entireity.

You could have had this entire rock collection for $1000.
[On the preceding images, feel free to make me your best offer! ]
Don't forget. The Stoddard Wells Tailgate is on the first weekend of March! You could have loaded up this collection in your trailer, taken it to the Tailgate, and could have quadrupled your investment all in a matter of days!
