NOTICE

Why did the materials cost change? This project incorporates items which are influenced by fluctuations of the silver market and/or current strength of the dollar. The materials cost is updated intermittently to reflects these changes.

 

Why select a mini CD? Requiring less plastic and packaging, less of our precious natural resources are consumed.
