OKI-731 Almandine Pearl Lake, New Hampshire. Ex. Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection. Another fine New England specimen seldom seen on today’s market. This miniature measuring 3.6 x 3.2 x 3.1 cm is composed of numerous well formed garnets to 1.3 cm each in mica schist. Most stand out of the matrix nicely and are in good condition. One tiny ding and one partial crystal. Outstanding condition for crystals broken out of a solid matrix. Deep red color and minor translucence. Sawed base. A very fine and rare piece. 145$

OKI-732 Magnetite Brookline, New Hampshire. Ex. Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection. An excellent miniature…the first I’ve ever seen in matrix. This classic New England specimen is a large single crystal which is not really complete…some edges are missing…but overall in good condition. The crystal is big measuring 2.2 cm on edge and is locked in matrix. Overall the specimen measures 4 x 3.2 x 2.5 cm. The crystal is of nice luster and has the stepped surface features expected of magnetites from this locale. Very nice. 190$

OKI-728 Quartz Scepter Palermo Mine, North Groton, New Hampshire. Ex. Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection. This famous field collector (Ernie S.) probably collected this fine example himself. New England specimens from this famous mine are rare, and scepters of quartz especially so. The specimen measures 4.4 x 3.1 x 3 cm and is composed of a milky stem capped by a double terminated cap. The cap is clear and slightly smoky. The stem is also terminated. Minor wax on stem from mounting. Aesthetic and rare. 385$
