SPECIAL PRE-TUCSON FINE MINERAL SPECIMEN AUCTIONS - end Feb 5th, 2015

SEPCIAL PRE-TUCSON AUCTION Ends Feb 5, 2015
at 6:30 PM (Central Time Zone)

This auction is packed with some of the most interesting 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 mixed in as "spikers" (such as a rare Pink tanzanite and some ultra-rare classics)!!
