We obtained an old East Coast collection just before the Tucson show and left it all at home, to offer on the internet first! Lots of old classics here! See gem crystals, rare species, old USA and German classics, and many good specimens that are hard to find at any price, let alone at auction!

1. Rare gemmy bi-colored TOURMALINE from the Perkins Sams
2. Large green FLUORITE plate from China
3. Fine Morocco VANADINITE
4. Superb large SCHORL in SMOKY QUARTZ from Brazil
5. Large PARAVAUXITE from the Type Locality
