Tucson 2025 Auction!

In recent years we’ve hosted a series of special “Showcase” auctions involving some of the minerals we already carefully selected for our retail sales venue in Tucson - so that our Internet and social media customers can have a fair chance at some of the good things we have saved up for the big show! And they all start at no reserve! You can’t even go to the show and see minerals like this at the prices.

To start the new year with a bang, we are therefore pleased to present one of the finest sets of beautiful fine mineral specimens and associated lapidary objects, that we have offered for online auction. Look for numerous beautiful specimens from new finds and old discoveries! 

These special auction items will be available for viewing at the Tucson show, but they will ONLY be available for bidding online at mineralauctions.com!
