You win some you lose some.
Pipped at the post once more for some difficult to acquire (but tiny!) native silver and gold crystal specimens, despite using auction software for last moment bids. Someone else was even faster and bid harder so I lost both by 50c!. A learning experience, although I thought I'd made some progress beyond n00b.
As compensation minutes later there was a knock at the door which was a chunk of green fluorite in matrix from Queensland and it is GORGEOUS.
