I'll try to answer all the questions as best I can
1- I actually have none on my wish list at the moment. You will see why when I answer question 5.
2- I buy all my crystals from Ebay, mostly from reputable Chinese sellers I know and trust. What I can find at a store for $ 1200 I can usually find on Ebay for $ 200- $ 400. I must of course point out I collect large crystal clusters 8-30 LBS. Not to mention local stores don't really have much that would impress me much anyhow.
3- That's a tough one. I suppose I would be a Citrine. I have horseshoes up my bum and have always considered myself lucky and successful. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rich or anything but things always seem to work out in the end, maybe that's just being optimistic
4- My wife is much more sensitive than I am regarding crystal vibrations and healing. She swears tourmaline makes her feel better when she is sick or depressed amongst other things. I carry a piece of citrine with me at work at all times since I am in sales. I don't feel the energies like my wife does, but it doesn't mean I still can't benefit from it's properties, even if I am not aware or sensitive to it's energies.
5- Here is my list, It's late at night so I might miss a couple but here goes:
8 LBS smoky citrine cluster
11 LBS pink quartz cluster
14.9 LBS clear quartz crysanthmum
8 LBS blue Kyanite
17 LBS yellow quartz cluster
10 LBS rose quartz
9 LBS green fluorite
15 LBS black quartz cluster
12 LBS green phantom quartz cluster
10.5 LBS labradorite ( the one that's on my avatar )

There is many pictures of my collection on the thread " latest crystal acquisitions. There is also many spelling mistakes in this post I am making but I really don't care It's late at night and you can sue me if you want
Here is a couple pictures of my latest purchases. The rainbow fluorite and the multi colour quartz ( and no I didn't misspell colour that's how we roll up here in Canada.
