Special Auction: Specimens from the Bill and Sharon Panczner Collection - Ends Oct 20, 2022

We are honored to present the latest of a series of SPECIAL COLLECTION AUCTIONS direct to the internet, to start the winter season on a high note for fine minerals! This auction features worldwide selections and old classics from the collection of Bill and Sharon Panczner collected from the 1960s. The TN suite was assembled mostly in the 1960s through the 1980s, while the rest are generally older material. Bill was curator of the Arizona Desert Museum and author of the still-definitive book MINERALS OF MEXICO (1987); and numerous other articles and books. Look for an amazing mix of rare and classic, historic mineral specimens that have literally been locked in boxes since the early 1990s, shown HERE for the first time! Highlights are superb Miniatures and Thumbnails (they had a superb competitive thumbnail collection back in the 70s before it was as fashionable as it is today!)
