Continuing with our special themed auctions we have a selection of higher-end minerals this week with $999 reserve bids. The retail prices on most specimens range between $3,500 and $5,000 in our inventory with superb pieces priced between $7,500-$9,500(!), so this is a great opportunity to pick up excellent pieces for bargain prices! You'll find a great mix of fine quality specimens from new and contemporary discoveries plus classics and showy display specimens!

A great mix of assorted worldwide gemstones. You will find an interesting selection of well-known, rare, unique, and collector-quality gems with reserve bids starting at $10 up to $249. Pay close attention to the quality in these auctions, as all of the stones are well-cut (some have unique custom cuts) and are not your typical "jewelry store" material. There are many gems in these auctions that one rarely sees on the market, and even the more common material is better than what you'll find in a lot of other venues.
