SPECIAL MINERAL AUCTION - SPECIMENS FROM THE COLLECTION of GEARY MURDOCK - ends TUESDAY November 27, 2018

Ends TUESDAY November 27th, 2018
at 6:30 PM (Central Time Zone)

Continuing with our special themed auctions we are thrilled for our next installment featuring specimens from the collection of Geary Murdock.

Geary Murdock was well-known in the mineral community as an accomplished field collector. He was credited for finding arguably the finest quality gem Aquamarine crystals from the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. We recently acquired specimens from Geary's collection and have assembled an introductory 30 piece auction to familiarize everybody with the sort of material he collected. Look for Geary's specimens to pop up in the auctions in the coming weeks and months.

Lastly, 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.
