Ends November 5, 2015
at 6:30 PM (Central Time Zone)
A great set this week featuring a fine mix of beautiful and impressive mineral specimens. The auction is highlighted by a super Olinghouse Gold specimen that is PICTURED IN ROCKS & MINERALS, but that's not all. We also have a wonderful large cabinet Kunzite specimen from Afghanistan along with other desirable worldwide gem crystals such as a rich blue Vietnamese Aquamarine and a 1 kilo(!) Topaz from Brazil. There are plenty of classics from around the world and even a copy of the must-have book, "The Minerals of New York City and its Environs". These and many more pieces round out one of our most exciting auctions of the year!
