SPECIAL FINE MINERAL AUCTION - JACK HALPERN MINERAL COLLECTION DEACCESSIONS - ends Jan 13, 2022

SPECIAL AUCTION ! – We are truly honored to be able to offer another large group of diverse beautiful specimens selected for sale to the public from the Jack Halpern Collection, built over decades by our old friend in San Francisco. To spread them out more widely out to the world of collectors, we are purposefully NOT saving many of these for shows as we would have in the past, and in fact did in past years. Instead, we jointly with Jack decided to let most of these beautiful minerals, where he purchased them long ago at old prices, fly at the auctions. Most of these have been purchased 20-40 years ago and are not on the market today!    For a newly added video on Jack and his collecting philosophy, please visit our updated blog post with his interview during a celebration at turning 100: https://www.irocks.com/the-jack-halpern-collection  (and we also have scans of previous published articles on Gentleman Jack available, upon request, to those who win items here.) More on Jack can also be seen   on The Mineralogical Record : https://mineralogicalrecord.com/biographies_labels/halpernjack/
