[Rockhounds] Ad – Garza and a new collection

[Scott's Rocks & Gems]

Hi Allen,  happy new year and hope you are doing well. Thanks for
forwarding all this information. I could take any of the Cave in Rock
fluorite and any of the Reynolds County galena If they are still available.
There are probably some other pieces I will add to but just saw this email
and thought I would chime in.
