The American Museum of Natural History, for example, is selling a $125,000 bracelet in conjunction with an exhibition of American Indian jewelry. The Heard Museum of Pheonix sold an opal and jade necklace and matching earrings for $34,000. The Metropolitan Museum of Art unloaded an amethyst choker with a biblike spray of amethyst drops for $60,000; the title of the Times article is "Let's Hit the Gift Shop, and Drop $60,000.
