Minerals from the Collection of Rock Currier
(1940-2015)
Below are the minerals recently acquired from the collection of Rock Currier
while on my buying trip to Tucson. Rock was one of the biggest mineral dealers
of the past 50 years, traveling the world to acquire new finds to sell through
his wholesale mineral business, Jewel Tunnel Imports. As he acquired minerals
for resale he would set aside specimens for his private collection that he
found personally interesting. A portion of his collection was being
dispersed in Tucson. All of Rock Currier's minerals that I acquired are here
at this one listing. No others are in reserve.
