This week's auction is filled with plenty of new discoveries 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. Of course we have plenty of pieces from the famous and historic Willard Wulff collection, along with dealers' inventories and other private collections that we're liquidating. 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!
