Nov.17th Online Only Auction, first lot closes at 6PM with a soft staggered close. What an exciting sale for the rock & mineral collector. An amazing collection of fossils, mineral specimens, cut slabs, gemstones, rock specimens, geological books, maps, including topo, caving, and geological survey. Many items will be sold in groups and this auction has a large amount of material. A multi-consignor auction, the anchor collection was consigned by a local geologist who had worked all over the country with a specific interest n Indiana and the Midwest. Just the wonderful examples of fluorite from IL & KY is a great example of this. Collectors and dealers alike will find many great additions to their collections and inventory. Much of this material was collected many, many years ago. Preview is by appointment, phone 812-822-2508 or email EDSOnlineAuctions@gmail.com.
