Northern Virginia Mineral Club (NVMC)

03/28/2026

Coming up in just over a week is our twice-a-year NVMC club auction!
This not-to-be-missed event is a ton of fun and an opportunity to go home with new treasures.
The doors open at 7PM with the main event starting after announcements a little after 7:30PM.
If all goes well, the club will provide pizza and drinks around 7PM for those that get there by then.
The auction ends promptly at 9PM with anything left unauctioned returned to the sellers.

If you are interested in selling, then you must be current on your 2026 NVMC membership dues.
But anyone can come buy!
Also, the seller form and bid slips are included in the monthly newsletter on our website.
Download them and fill them out before coming please.

We plan to accept cash, check, & hopefully credit / Venmo as needed.
Since we won't be auctioning over Zoom, this is unfortunately an in-person only event.
But we promise to make it worthwhile, so plan on coming out!
