For the past 11 years, KT has been selling portions of His Royal Mineral Collection. Until this past Sunday, KT had disposed of about 35% of the specimens collected over a 50 year span. Although when His Majesty first started He was emotionally attached to each specimen, but as He was trained in University, He began to take on a more detached attitude, using His Royal Mineral Collection as a ready resource for writing numerous national and International articles, as well as several books, and numerous talks to both hobbyists and professionals. So it was time to sell the remaining collection, and He was contacted by a mineral dealer from Oregon, whose shop burned to the ground this fall, and everything in his shop destroyed. He contacted KT 3 weeks ago, and arrived at the Castle on this past Monday with a 15 foot Uhaul truck. With his assistant, the 3 of us wrapped and packed about 1500 specimens, and 6 display cases. KT is not suffering separation anxiety because He was well paid!
Now KT is involved in setting up a King Cave Room in the former display room. His Majesty enjoyed shopping today for a new Royal Recliner for this room...found one that is electric with more bells and whistles than a steam train engine of yore! And instead of waiting 5-6 weeks for delivery, it will arrive at the Castle this coming Saturday afternoon, delivered and installed!
It has been a busy past few days for KT...the best thing is that the dealer was not interested in the micromounts that KT has been involved with the past 15 years! His Majesty still has a few thousand of those to sell and trade with His Royal Associates of similar interests.
KT got paid well enough that he can buy most any gun He fancies, but being a frugal old King, He shall search for solid inexpensive specimens for camo painting! Had thought about an AR-15, and a lot of folks are camopainting them, but KT is just not into that aspect of survival, believing a Castle bristling with shotguns to be enough to keep the raiders at bay!
