In addition to the Tully Monsters we posted in December, we have some absolutely beautiful mineral specimens for the 2026 ESCONI Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show Live Auction. For this preview, we have a 20 lb. piece of Fluorite, Galena, and Barite from the Royal Flush Mine in Bingham, NM. There are pristine crystals on this specimen and do we need to say that it fluoresces? Photos do not show the beauty of this stunning piece!

The auction for this item has not yet been determined. We’ll post that information when it is known. Until then, enjoy!
