15 Tons+ Lapidary Rough Agate Jasper Gem Silica Fossils

15 Tons+ Lapidary Rough Agate Jasper Gem Silica Fossils

This huge collection of lapidary rough comes from the same retired jeweler as our other gemstone auction. Its origin is a rock shop gem dealer that was in Montana that closed 20 years ago. This material is not seen the light of day in that time. I have identified the material as best I can but I'm sure there are things better than what I have knowledge to tell. This is a great collection and somebody is going to get it at a great price! It will be sold with no reserve. This was his collection and includes various types of fossils, gem silica / chrysocolla in red jasper. there is some material that looks like it is some kind of jade maybe and some that might be opalized but I am not sure.One of the fossils identified are baculites. There are a couple of other types of fossils that we have not identified. There are two barrels of coprolites. There are some pyritized items in here and plenty of picture jaspers and scenic sandstone. This right now is housed in South Eastern Minnesota and is available for pick up only although if you did want to have it shipped, we would gladly arrange that as long as all costs of moving the collection is paid for by the buyer. There are multiple 55 gallon drums of this material ad they are pictured but there is more than what is pictured as we ran out of space in this auction. We don't have an exact weight but I'm sure there are 15 + tons and if I remember right, when it hit the scales there was 40,000 lbs. Thank you for your interest in this auction. If you need additional photographs please let us know. I will go out to the site in the next few days and count the barrels again and add that to this auction later.
