Missouri Mineral Specimens
OKF-373 Pyrite Bar St. Joe Lead District, Missouri. Ex Anthony P. Dunn
collection. Now here is a really serious specimen for the collector of
classic American minerals. This specimen measures 13.5 cm in length it is
6.7 cm wide and its base. It averages approximately 4 cm in thickness and
is fully terminated on all sides including its base. There is a single
minor white dolomite crystal which is the only accessory mineral present.
The bar is very stable standing on end for display and is slightly curved in
form. I can't say enough about this piece’s rarity and aesthetics.
It is one of those amazing pieces which is seldom seen in the mineral market
especially in large damage free pieces like this. There is another
collection number on the base of the piece but my guess is that this specimen
was mined in the mid-1970s. They don't get much better than this so I
suspect this one should go fast even though it's an expensive piece of pyrite.
$1600
OKF-133 Calcite with Chalcopyrite on Dolomite Sweetwater mine, Viburnum
Trend, Reynolds County, Missouri. Ex. Jim Turek Collection. A wonderful
display specimen with two primary calcites, the largest measuring 6.8 cm. this
specimen is a floater and fully mineralized on both sides. One edge has a tiny
matrix contact and a smaller crystal has a small cleaved on its backside which
is not visible in the frontal view. The largest Crystal is a superb example
with many gemmy regions, a complex form and rich yellow color. 11 x 7 x 4 cm
overall size. An excellent example for this location. $300
OKF-055 Galena and Chalcopyrite Buick Mine, Reynolds Co., Missouri. Ex.
Art Edwards Collection. Here is one of the finest galena specimens I have seen
in years. It is perfectly balanced on a natural section of matrix (not
trimmed). The massive cube measures 7 cm on edge! It has a great patina not a
newly mined flashy luster. This is truly a specimen that could display well in
any museum case. Chalcopyrite crystals coat the upper sections of the matrix
and a couple of minor calcites are on the bottom. The cube is fully formed on
all sides and displays great from any view. 14 x 10.5 x 10 cm overall. An
absolute steal at 850$
