Then the second lot left will be available at the winning bid to anyone who would also like one.

Specimen lot #2 ..........
A beautifully white and sparkly clean microcline/albite in combination with smokey quartz crystals (many top and bottom) is the center of this lot. Size of the center piece is a miniature at just under 2.5" and is a micromount delight!
Also included for this lot, another smokey quartz crystal that at first glance appears to be broken which it was.....but mother nature has tried to fix the broken end over time and the broken end now has been "mended" naturally with many small terminations. The other pieces are, geothite (micromount), a nice pale amazonite crystal with good form, a pseudomorph hematite after siderite (awesome sheen and form), and another light tan colored microcline/albite formation with awesome shape and sheen too!

Hi folks,

This weeks auction will have some cool stuff and a new shopping "discount" voucher.
Holiday season is here.......shopping lists are long and dollars never enough it seems.......take advantage of this one and $AVE $$!! Previously we have done a specified dollar amount so the new "% discount" really puts the savings in the shoppers hands!

First we will start off Monday night's auction with the new "discount" shopping spree voucher. The discounted spree is for a one time 25% discounted shopping spree in the CP Miners Market. How much you save with that discount depends on how many items you buy. In the Miners Market one can find many thing such as stone guitar picks, placer dirt for panning gold, unique mineral specimens, semi-precious stone jewelry, gold inlayed cabochons, and other loose cabochons to design your own pieces.......and much much more!

The normally excluded items apply to the "discount" sprees as well.......as follows.

Specimens over $500
CP club memberships
Cafe press items (CP gear)
PLP memberships


Second on the auction block will be...
A CP placer dirt sampler 3 pak.....1 bag from Alma, 1 from Blackhawk, and 1 from Fairplay.
Try a pan from each area and see what turns up in the cons!
The fall special is about to end so this may be your last chance to get a 3 pak sampler this easy.

Third on the block for the evening will be......
Announced at the auction......
Suprise! Ya' are all just gonna have to show up and find out Monday night!

Cya'll in the chat room ..... 6pm MST.
