SPECIAL post-TUCSON EDITION FINE MINERAL SPECIMEN AUCTIONS - end March 19th, 2015

SEPCIAL post-TUCSON AUCTION Ends March 19, 2015
at 6:30 PM (Central Time Zone)

Premium classics and old treasures from several recent collection acquisitions, many of which we could have taken to our 50-foot-long booth at the Tucson main show for sale as usual. Instead, they are up for auction for our web customers! There is a great mix featuring specimens from many collections we've purchased, and assorted pieces from new finds and classic localities such as Tsumeb and old USA localities now closed.
