If you are considering your finances or money management, this may be looked at as a high cost. But in reality, such a rare specimen could be worth much more. When collecting crystals it is important to remember the financial quality or investment potential of the mineral specimen and, generally try to buy the best your personal finance can allow.
The San Juan Mountains are a rugged mountain range in the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Colorado. The area is highly mineralized (the Colorado Mineral Belt) and figured in the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado. Major towns, all old mining camps, include Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. Large scale mining is now uneconomical in the region, although independent prospectors still work claims throughout the range (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
