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!
