Minerals from Chili
OKH-717 Gold in Chrysocolla Tucumana
Mine, Inca de Oro, Chili. Ex. Paul and Dawne Dunning
Collection. I have received information on this location from an
individual who collected here and validates the locale. It is certainly an unusual combination
from an unusual place. The piece measures 4
x 3 x 2.6 cm overall and the gold is disseminated over a .7 cm area on the
left-hand side of this specimen. Specimen is mounted any perky box. $215
OKI-598 Atacamite
SOLD La Farola Mine, Copiapo, Chile.
Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain Collection. A bright green group of acicular
crystals in radiation sprays. Minor unknown secondary mineral in tiny balls of
a whitish tan color. Nice damage free crystals of good form and exceptional
luster. 2.3 cm in widest diameter. Wonderful TN sized example. 38$
OKI-429 Magnetite El Laco, Antofagasta Region,
Chili. Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain Collection. Previous Canadian Museum of
Nature specimen. An aggregate of octahedral with individual crystals to 1.6 cm
each. Some are quite sharp while others are crude in form. The cluster
measures 7.9 x 5.2 x 3.2 cm. It is a metallic rust color and has a low luster.
It is an interesting specimen to view and has an odd locale and nice
provenance. 95$
OKI-145 Prousite Chanarcillo, Atacama, Chili. Ex. Jim Turek
collection. This rock contains a nice vug with calcite crystals include by red
prousite and prousite crystals to 1 cm. One good crystal and a partial crystal
of about the same size. Rare stuff to find in this rich red, unaltered, color.
This should be trimmed down into a nice TN specimen by someone with more
patients than me. 95$
