SPECIAL LIQUIDATION AUCTION: Hoppel Collection RARE SPECIES & CLASSIC MINERALS Mineral Liquidation Auction ends 530 PM on Dec 1, 2016

NOTE SPECIAL END TIME: 530 PM CST on Dec 1st., 26
We are honored to present the fifth (of 6) megasized set of several large auctions of rare species and fine locality pieces and classic mineral specimens from the massive Hoppel Collection. After several years of holding back many rare species and more sophisticated collector specimens from the Hoppel collection, I have negotiated a deal to let me offer these specimens to my customers via our own auction style. Bidding starts at $10 even though many specimens are valued at $1000 and more! We are excited that these liquidation auctions will bring to market hundreds of specimens of importance to collectors, many from the 1980s and 1990s heyday of a previous generation of old mineral collection dispersals!
