LAST LISTING

If you are interested, please make an offer now on anything.. all must go.

Please - DO NOT buy the lot until you are aware of any in main picture that are NOT included - as there are separate offers on some. *** I will cross off all sold ones on the main image ***

Mineral rocks, kauri gum, gems, artifacts NZ mining, fossils, stalagmite slice Additional images show some

Size eg: Top oval polished one is 12cm across

The raw (unpolished/coated) kauri gum (copal / kapia) is 9x8x5cm - written is "Curnow Rd" as far as I can read - an area? I dont know. Just added example image of 2 smaller pieces - showing crystal clear yellow inside, came from same lot but 2 pcs are not incl in this listing - the large piece only It is not new soft gum - is very hard, brittle old gum - precious, have seen similar sizes for over $400

The heavy (lead) rock labelled "galena pyrite - tui mine" comes from the closed Tui Mine in Coromandel, others from same lot are in the Thames School of Mines. Fossils from known fossil "forest" in South island. Red heavy rock labelled "fern" - with all the molten looking swirls is from memory, either fern gully, or a fern fossil. !?!?

Some are slices revealing interior, some green, pink, and red waves lines, see more individual images of some.

Am open to offers for individuals pcs, or swaps, trades for any old items a retro technology museum might be interested in, especially old NZ "junk" - Feel free to comment, thx

Items listed are from my personal hobby, which I have collected, purchased, or been given by my family and friends over many years. They are surplus, double-ups, extras, or simply don't suit being a part of our ambitions of reopening the free public, educational technology museum again in the near future.

Sorry, buying with Ping option is removed as Trademe did not transfer all my ping sales from the last few months. Now $500 has vanished from my ping account and I cant pay the storage rent for the next 4 months :(
