FINE MINERAL COLLECTION and INVENTORY LIQUIDATION AUCTION (set 2 of 2) - end October 12th, 2017
Ends Thursday, October 12th, 2017
at 6:45 PM (Central Time Zone)
This week's auction is filled with new material we picked up over the last few months along with rarities, unusual pieces, gem crystals, classics and display specimens. You'll even find a few fossils, carving and gemstones mixed in every now and then. Look for pieces mixed in from various collections we've obtained including Willard Wulff, Kay Robertson, Francesco Bedogné, and Paul Zerfass, along with dealers' inventories. Look here for the not so typical mineral specimens along with plenty of your favorites. We don't just offer the "standard 20 species", but an eclectic mix of specimens that appeal to everybody! Enjoy!
Some of the highlights from this week's include:
1. HISTORIC old time PRE-TSUMEB DIOPTASE specimen from the Guchab-Rodgerberg area, Namibia
2. New find of gemmy "phantom" cubic FLUORITE from Baluchistan, Pakistan
3. One of the new and unusual HYALITE / "BLOOD VESSEL OPALS" from San Luis Potosi, Mexico
4. An old classic and historic specimen of epitaxial HEMAITE on DOLOMITE from Frizington, England (ex Kay Robertson and three other old collections!)
5. A cool pseudomorph of TOURMALINE partially replaced by QUARTZ from the inside out(!) from Brazil
6. Rarities include, SCAINIITE, ZANAZZIITE, KAMPFITE, DAWSONITE, LANGITE and a RARE piece of HETEROGENITE from Tsumeb!!
