FINE MINERAL COLLECTION and INVENTORY LIQUIDATION AUCTION (set 2 of 2) - end October 19th, 2017
Ends Thursday, October 19th, 2017

This week's auction is filled with new material 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. Look for pieces mixed in from various collections we've obtained including Willard Wulff, Kay Robertson, Francesco Bedogné, and Paul Zerfass, along with dealers' inventories. 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!
Some of the highlights from this week's include:
1. One of the newly mined PURPLE CHALCEDONY / AGATE ("Grape Chalcedony" / "Graph Agate") from Indonesia
2. A RARE and VERY GOOD SIZED DIAMOND CRYSTAL showing cube, octahedron and dodecahedron faces
3. Fine, sharp, lustrous GEM QUALITY green cubic FLUORITE from the Xianghualing Mine in China (ex Paul Zerfass Collection)
