FINE MINERAL COLLECTION and INVENTORY LIQUIDATION AUCTION (set 2 of 2) - FEATURING GERMAN CLASSICS FROM THE KAY ROBERTSON COLLECTION - end SATURDAY November 25th, 2017

Ends SATURDAY, November 25th, 2017
at 6:45 PM (Central Time Zone)

We're changing things up for the next couple weeks regarding the second mineral auction. We still have our usual mix of rarities, unusual pieces, gem crystals, classics and display specimens, but the second page of the auction will feature many German classics and other pieces from the Kay Robertson collection. We're putting together this special set to coincide with the Munich Show along with the large 50+ page spread featuring Kay's German classics in the German Mineral Magazine "Mineralien Velt"! Look for well-known classics from historic localities along with rarities and esoteric / oddball pieces from all over.

In addition to Kay's classics, you will still find specimens from various collections we've obtained including Willard Wulff, Francesco Bedogné, Paul Zerfass, along with Herb Obodda dealer stock. 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!


Some of the highlights from this week's auction include:

1. Classic AZURITE with MALACHITE from Tsumeb
2. A new specimen of unusual and attractive pink MANGANOAN CALCITE from Bulgaria
3. Rare CARBONATE-RICH HYDROXYLAPATITE with MAGNETITE from Bolivia
4. A really cool CUPRITE with NATIVE SILVER and NATIVE COPPER from the Ray Mine in Arizona
5. Newly Mine rare "BLOOD VESSEL" HYALITE OPAL from Mexico
6. A hard to find piece of the La Lande METEORITE from New Mexico (ex Miguel Romero Collection)
