SPECIAL MINERAL AUCTION - RARITIES and MICRO MINERALS - Ends * TUESDAY * June 27, 2017

Ends ** TUESDAY ** June 27th, 2017
at 6:30 PM (Central Time Zone)

For the next few months, we're going to be listing special themed auctions featuring specimens from a specific locality, collection or a themed auction. We're going to do at least one special auction per month during the summer!

The current theme auction features two pages loaded with rare minerals and micro species. We've assembled a great mix of worldwide minerals with an emphasis on rarity and interesting micro crystallization. We put in extra effort to take a lot of micro photos for everything so all the little details can be seen. Many of the specimens in this lot are the only piece of a particular species that we have to offer. Check out all the minerals we have from the TYPE LOCALITY such as Svenekite, Ludlockite, Colusite, Natrochalcite, Nissonite, Rosenhahnite, Painite, Vauxite and a specimen with Frankamenite, Tokkoite and Davanite (all THREE TOGETHER from the TYPE LOCALITY!).

PLEASE NOTE: This auction closes on a TUESDAY night, not our normal Thursday schedule, and we'll send out a reminder / announcement before it closes to you don't miss out.
