OKH-583 Fluorite Weiseck, Lungau, Austria. Ex. Paul and Dawne
Dunning Collection. This is a nice specimen from a very unusual location. It
measures 9.5 x 4.2 x 3.4 cm and is composed of cubes to 1.5 cm on edge. It is a
mild green color and we’ve nice luster and good clarity to the cubes. There is
no damage and it displays nicely. $250
OKI-411 Almandine Granatwald, Tyrol, Austria. Ex
Anthony Dunn Collection. Embedded in schist we see eight large (to 2.7 cm)
garnets. The back has garnets to but they are not display worthy due to
damage. This specimen has not been polished, coated, painted, etc. as they most
often are from this locale. I have seen all kinds of things done to these to
make them presentable. They are doctored up in order to remove or hid the minor
damage which they almost always seem to have. This one does have two chips and
a tiny ding but it is exceptional for this material. It is one of only a couple
which I have seen which has not been repaired/inappropriately improved. Big
plate measuring 14.4 x 11. 6 cm. It averages 3 cm thick. Good luster in its
natural state. Try and find one this nice for sale…I don’t think you will and
certainly not at this low a price. Great classic European specimen. 395$
