Fossils, Meteorites and the Joanna Candler Collection of Quartz and Other Metaphysical Minerals
Fossils, Meteorites, Minerals and the Joanna Candler Collection of Quartz and Metaphysical Minerals:
Dinosauria leads the auction with numerous selections of teeth, a museum-quality cast replica Tyrannosaurus bataar shoulder mount and a full Triceratops skeleton. A full skeleton of an Oreodont, Merycoidodon culbertsoni, the first offered at public auction in decades, highlights the White River Badlands, South Dakota section of fossils.
Meteorites include Lunar and Martian examples, a rare white Eucrite fallen in Northwest Africa, a large Admire, Kansas pallasite slice and a large Bruderheim, Canada chondrite.
An array of minerals from around the globe are sure to entice those seeking display specimens. A very large pink fluorite octahedron and an aquamarine and muscovite from Pakistan are some of the colourful selections. Australian Gold Nuggets from a Midwest Estate are enticingly priced.
Bonhams is honoured to represent a collection of quartz and metaphysical minerals, deaccessioned by Santa Barbara based, Joanna Candler, an enthusiast of generously sized specimens, many of which are mounted on illuminated stands, ready for display.
