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! Plus, we included a number of holdbacks from other old mineral collections we have liquidated, for a great variety here of speicmens including things worth $1000s of dollars, satrting at only $10
