OKH-971 Goethite pseudomorph after Selenite Laurion, Greece. Ex Paul and Dawne Dunning Collection. Nice casts and partial casts of green and brown color. As far as pseudomorphs go this is attractive. The form is fantastic and the color contrasts pleasing. It is unclear if the missing cases are broke or just not fully formed. In either case they are not unattractive and show off the fact that each crystal is hollow (a cast). 4 x 2.8 x 1.4 with longest crystal measuring 2.1 cm. $195

OKI-377 Hematite and Andradite Island of Seriphos, Greece. Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain Collection. Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain Collection. A very attractive and unusual combination from an uncommon location. The specimen views as damage free from the front and sides but has lots of heavy contact on base and back. The large hematite clusters are up to 2 cm each and the garnets to .9 cm. The hematite luster is low to moderate while the garnets are translucent and high in luster. A nice contrast. The entire specimen measures 4.3 x 2.5 x 2.4 cm. Great piece! 150$
