You will find quite a bit of helpful information and links in the microscope forum.
As everyone has been saying, low powers, proper illumination and stereo plus zoom capability are things to consider.
I purchased (new) a stereo/zoom microscope this past November from a place called 'Absolute Clarity & Callibration. It was $462 shipped. I've been happy with it and have used it several times for viewing some meteorites Mike sent to me.
Also, as Mike points out, unless you are viewing polished slices, even at low powers, the uneven surfaces can be a bit disconcerting, without zoom and stereo features.
Best of luck with your decision,
Mark J.D.
