This week we offer many higher priced minerals from recent acquisitions, including tourmalines and some major European Classic Mineral specimens. There is also a large mix of old classic mineral specimens and rarities from old collections! Heavily represented are old pieces from the 1950s-1980s from the collection of Dr. Art Soregaroli, which we are dispersing. Look for bargains on gem crystals, rare species, and major classics alike!
