FINE MINERAL COLLECTION & INVENTORY LIQUIDATION AUCTION - Ends August 12, 2021
We have a great selection this week, featuring plenty of attractive, fine quality, classic, contemporary, rare and unusual specimens from around the world. Look for some great specimens from various collections that we've purchased over the last year or so like Colorado mining legend, Dave Bergman, plus Bob Reynolds, Gary Weaver, Lee Burnett, Steve Smale, Chet Lemanski, and our own Alex Venzke. You might even find the occasional fossil, lapidary or gem item from time to time. 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!
