The Obodda Collection
We are so proud to have obtained the large collection of Herb Obodda, lifelong dealer and friend. His collection of several thousand specimens contains large suites from his two favorite collecting interests: antique European classics; and minerals of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where he was the first dealer to export specimens to the West. For more on Herb, please see the Mineralogical Record bio or read the article written by John White that appeared in the July-August 2008 issue of The Mineralogical Record (volume 39).
