OKF-382 Anhydrite Cavity in Quartz, Barite and Malachite Cheshire Traprock Quarry, Cheshire, Connecticut. Ex Dr. Steve Chamberlain collection. Previously in the Herb Obodda and John Albanese Collections. Four specimen tags are included with this piece documenting its fine province. The specimen measures 9.9 x 8.2 x 5 cm overall. The vug is composed of low luster crystals and casts totally lining the geode like opening. The backside of the specimen has been sawn flat. I see no damage to any the crystals or casts composing the specimen. And very nice New Jersey piece with a great history. $175

OKF-099 Wolframite pseudo after Scheelite Trumbull, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain collection. Previously in Union College collection. Very unusual pseudomorph from an East Coast location that I am unfamiliar with. The matrix is yellow quartz and the crystal measures 1.7 cm. The specimen is 3.4 x 2.8 x 2 cm. Very clean crystal considering the specimen was broken free from his quartz matrix. $130

OKF-062 Babingtonite and Quartz Hampden Quarry, Westfield, Hampden Co., MA. Ex. Dr. Steven Chamberlain collection. Prev. Ward’s Minerals. Beautiful babingtonite crystals sit on clear to milky quartz crystals in this fine specimen. The babingtonites are an east coast classic and up to 1.6 cm in length in parallel growth. The primary crystals sit up high on the quartz crystal matrix and display well. The babingtonite is of the highest luster, nicely formed and aesthetic. Some of the quartz is damaged but this does not distract from the quality of the important mineral here. The entire specimen measures 3.4 x 2.5 x 2 cm. 140$
