We are proud to present the collection of Judge Raymond Drake of Cripple Creek, Colorado. Judge Drake, a former county judge of Teller County Colorado and lifelong Cripple Creek resident, assembled one of the best collections known of minerals from the Cripple Creek Gold Mining District, particularly the unique gold telluride minerals this classic locale is so famous for. We acquired the Drake collection in its entirety from Mr. Drake in June of 2025 and are excited to be offering a special selection of specimens from this important collection here on eBay! Stay tuned for more and please send us a message if you have any questions or requests!
