  Hello. My state government aid has been cut dramatically due to the repercussions of implemenatation of responses to general budgetary concerns, such as subsequently revised economic qualification standards in California. Plus, I have possibly exceeded the maximum number of units that my school permits one to have to qualify for federal aid, and I have yet to receive any check. This will take some time to sort out., although I recognize that this is my problem. Due to these conditions and my extrapolated poverty, I must sell a large portion of my modest collection. I collected for reference purposes, choosing fascinating petrographies over rarity or value. Amphoterites were a special concern of mine, as well as extrusions and examples of metamorphic grades and carbonaceous chondrite metasomatism. Buy all (please - I just want to break even), and we'll discuss a significant discount. Plus, I'll trade for a good laptop, certain books and analytic instruments. I will entertain
  and
 consider individual offers on more expensive specimens. All specimens have been handled with chlorine-free gloves and have been stored in perforated polyethylene bags in inert storage containers with loose lids - all sealed in one large bag with a well-maintained container of silica gel. There is no advancing oxidation, and my climate is dry (So. California). Plus, I may get to the OC and iron specimens that I have (at least 60 more specimens). These were all purchased originally from reputable dealers (e.g. Hupes, Mike Farmer, Michael Cottingham et al.).
  Thank you for the inbox space.
