FINE MINERAL COLLECTION and INVENTORY LIQUIDATION AUCTION

We have a great selection of material that we picked up over the last few months along with rarities, unusual pieces, gem crystals, classics and display specimens.  Look for new goodies from recent shows / discoveries along with new collection acquisitions to appear in the coming weeks.  Selections from various collections we've obtained including David Burgess, Tom Campbell and Dr. William Logan along with pieces from Charlie Key and Rich Kosnar, plus plenty of pieces from Kay Robertson.  Look here for the not so typical mineral specimens along with plenty of your favorites.  Not just the "standard 20 species", but an eclectic mix of specimens that appeal to everybody!
