Apologies for the hijack..!

Oddly enough, I have been wanting to contact our NSC Geologists. I have a very old presentation box with 45 small samples of Kiwi volcanic rock.

Worth anything or is anyone interested in taking it off me? Not quite sure what to do with it.

My son is really into geology, or at least collecting interesting rocks. He'd love them, if you're willing to donate them.

Whyever not!? (Unless they are worth untold thousands).

We can sort out via PM.
