NEW YEAR'S AUCTION!(Central Time Zone)
3 PAGES of FINE MINERAL SPECIMEN and MINERAL COLLECTION Liquidation auctions: Here you will find many old classic and rare specimens from recent collections we've purchased (in particular, we continue dispersing the large and very diverse mineral collections of Bob Trimingham, Herb Obodda, and Dr. Art Soregaroli). Note many impressive historical classics and rare species in this set, including minerals from old European locales such as Chessy and Harz; a fine old English chalcocite, and a turn-of-the-1900s Rhodonite from New Jersey with fascinating labels.
