John,
David Shannon's recent mineral list has a Nikon 12-60x zoom, with light
supply, for about $700. The scope is in as new condition. That's about a good
deal as I have seen.
I have a B & L zoom stereo with light source that I paid $600 for, three
years ago. I am very happy with it. (I gave my old AO 15x, 30x to my boys.)
These things are expensive, but you get what you pay for in quality of
optics: color accuracy is especially important at higher magnifications for
micromineral work.
