SPECIAL MIXED RESERVE ($249, $100, $50, $25 & $10) GEMSTONE AUCTION - Ends April 14, 2022

An exciting mix of assorted worldwide gemstones. You will find a superb mix of well-known, rare, unique and collector quality gems with reserve bids starting at $10 up to $249. Pay close attention to the quality in these auctions, as all of the stones are well-cut (many have unique custom cuts) and are not your typical "jewelry store" material. There are many gems in these auctions that one rarely sees on the market, and even the more common material is better than what you'll find in a lot of other venues. Look for special stones from the estate of well-known Phoenix jeweler, Marvin Rockey !
