This rock or mineral? specimen appears to have 2 layers and looks like its made up of crystals. This was in a rock collectors collection in Texas so I don't know where it comes from.  It's very heavy weighing exactly 2 pounds and measures about 5 inches long x 3 inches wide x 2 inches tall.  What is this?  Or is there a website that will help me id it? Just a person who likes rocks.  ... View more

This was sold to me as an Iron silicide meteorite, but I dont think it is. Sort of magnetic, but very weak. Odd looking, so I broke off a medium small part of the corner, and this is what's inside of it. I have no clue as to what it is or isnt. It's strange whatever it is..is it even a rock? or what.. any info. would be appreciated.  The entire thing weighs around 3.5 lbs and is around 5 inches in length. ... View more

Hi All,    It is very nice to meet you all and I hope you are having an awesome day.   My question is I came into over 100 mineral samples about a year ago.  Almost all of them have the cards and some of them that have cards have the 1980s prices marked on them.  I figured the 1980s by how the cards have yellowed a bit.  The cards usually have the name "The Mineral Mailbox" as the logo for the business at the bottom of each card.    I was wondering what is the best way to go about selling these mineral specimens as they are the real thing and I would rather not sell them for too cheap?   Should I sell them as a lot?  One at a time?   I have included a picture of some of them, although they are very cramped in the picture, it will give you an idea of what a small portion of them look like.   Thanks for any tips and pointers. I plan to start selling them within the next week,  so if any are interested in them keep your eyes peeled...           ... View more
