GOLD, MINERAL COLLECTION & RARE MINERAL SPECIES LIQUIDATION AUCTION - Ends March 4, 2021

GOLD! Plus, a completely random mix of species, locations, and historic oddities, spanning acquisitions we made between the early 2000s and around 2012, as we processed some older material in the warehouse that had previously gone lost or unappreciated! We have been working hard in our back room to bring these to light. Look for old finds, and really old finds, of historic classics, and rare species: Some of the highlights from this week’s auction include: Historic specimens from USA and Germany! To balance out the "lovable rare uglies" we have added in 4 superb gold specimens, valued at $2000-9,500
