Gallery 10 includes 4 pages of outstanding specimens on consignment to me from the collection of a collector
here in the East who cherry picked most of these over the past 20 years and has decided to de-access these
from his extensive collection . . . . and an occasional piece from my own collection.
These are very fine, above the average, so here is an opportunity to add to your suite of India minerals.
