Dr. Erika Pohl Collection Auction!

We are truly honored to present another auction from the collection of Dr. Erika Pohl, as released to us by her family to disperse to the world of collectors. Selected from the core of Dr. Pohl's amazing suite of African mineral miniatures and small cabinet, we have a large variety for you here! We selected such pieces for this auction with the purpose of showing you what is coming over the next 10-20-30 years as we work through her collection since much of it is made from exactly the same kind of choices, selections of perfect and beautiful small specimens; even as people today now think of her for larger pieces and Tsumeb material. Enjoy!
