From what I understand, they haven't been able to get back into Egypt to mine it since 2010 or so.

I bought them here royalsaharajasper.com/ABOUT-RSJ-W10897.aspx in 2011 and again a couple of months ago. It says they collected it in 2006. I believe this group had the only claim, but the website still says $25 lb. I think I have 2 or 3 lb. left but it is packed and stored so can't say for sure. Mine is good quality, but doesn't compare to some of the specimens shown on the website.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis
