Plinius - Earth Treasures: 28 Dec - 04 Jan 2019
Dear Friends,
To properly start 2019, I have put together a number of specimens on sale. As usual, the selection ranges from classics - but always with a touch of oddity - to rare, oldtimers and sought after, with quite a few eye candies. The specimens come from different collections, including Cerato (Italy), Burger (Switzerland), Weber (Switzerland), my own and the newly acquired Charles Dodsworth (UK).
Some highlights include:
- elegant pyrrhotite and siderite from Morro Velho (Brazil)
- historical orpiment from Banat Mountains (Romania)
- choice hutchinsonite with orpiment from Quiruvilca (Peru)
- rare irhtemite from Ightem (Morocco)
- sizeable faujasite from Sasbach (Germany)
As usual, some specimens come with very low reserve prices.
Hope you enjoy this auction. Happy bidding!
