SPECIAL LIQUIDATION AUCTION: Hoppel Collection RARE SPECIES & CLASSIC MINERALS Minerals - ends 630 PM on Dec 29, 2016
AUCTION ENDS on Dec 29
We are honored to present the final megasized set of several large auctions of rare species and classic old locality pieces and classic mineral specimens from the massive Hoppel Collection, obtained between 1983 and 1998 or thereabouts. 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 more esoteric and collectible specimens to my customers via our own auction style. Bidding starts at $10 even though many specimens are valued at $1000 and more and the previous owner PAID in excess of $2000 for half a dozen things in this auction set! 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!
