CLASSIC AND FINE MINERAL LIQUIDATION AUCTION featuring OLD CLASSIC MINERALS & CABINET PIECES - Ends January 20, 2022

We present another short set featuring a selection of fine mineral specimens, many not commonly seen on the market today.  Specimens include items from the collections of A.L. Kidwell, Bill Larson, Dr. Miguel Romero, Herb Obodda and Shields Flynn, that go back 50 years and more in some cases. Many of the old Kidwell specimens were purchased in the 1930s-1950s, and there are some old classics here that we seldom see today. This is a really special set of mostly old classic finds and rarities that we hope you find as educational and really interesting as we do, that can only be found in these massive old collections.
