Sundowner & Fundraising Auction
Saturday 7th Nov from 5.30 pm, rooms 7 & 8, lvl 2, Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre
Collector's night auction
Join us for an evening of rare specimens, serious live bidding and the kind of finds you won’t see anywhere else.
Every year brings a different lineup – some significant corporate lots are announced ahead of time, some aren’t.
All proceeds support PGMS 2027.
What's for auction ?
You never quite know what’s coming. That’s the point !
But we can already tell you about :
- An original Hoover translation of the De Re Metallica
- A polished slab of elbaite-bearing pegmatite from Greenbushes, WA donated by Talison Lithium.
- A significant specimen from Degrussa copper mine donated by Sandfire resources
- A large polished sphere of tiger iron courtesy of Crystal Universe.
- A large sphere of purple lepidolite in pegmatite from the Desertfiredesign workshop.
No donation is too big or too small. We typically select up to a dozen of significant pieces for the live auction, which are the highlight of the night, and quite entertaining to watch. Other contributions are listed on the silent auction for the bidding to happen during the whole lenght of the event, while drinks and nibbles are served with a 5 minute warning before pens are up. Bargains to be had, or generosity to be expressed, make sure you help the Perth Gem Mineral Show run another year by fighting for a rock !
