Oklahoma Minerals
OKH-327 Galena BrewsterMine, Picher, Oklahoma. Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain
Collection. Spectacular grouping of cuboctahedral crystals measuring 2.8 x 2.5
x 2.3 cm. Nice even luster, great form and complexity, almost a floater with
only a tiny area of contact on base. No damage. Wow. A real winner at a
reasonable price. 30$
OKI-486 Galena with
Sphalerite Tri- State District, Ottawa Co., Oklahoma. Ex Jim Turek
Collection. I’ve owned dozens of these specimens with this “cityscape” like
stepped growth in various sizes but believe this one to be the finest I’ve owned
and certainly the finest miniature I’ve ever seen. The piece measures 6.4 x 5.7
x 4.2 cm. The primary cube is 3 cm on edge and every face, all of which are
exposed to some degree, have intricate facial modifications by octahedral
overgrowths. The limestone matrix plate has small sphalerite crystals to 1.2
cm each on all sides and displays all the crystals up high off of it. The
specimen is a floater with no points of attachment and zero damage. This is the
type of specimen we could see on the cover of Min. Record and never question
why. This specimen is far, far better in person and I have done a poor job
capturing its aesthetics here. 900$
OKD-843 Quartz, Sphalerite and Chalcopyrite Clink Ender’s Mine, Picher,
Oklahoma. Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain Collection. An older specimen from the
George Springs collection. Big, twinned sphalerites to 2.5 cm in diameter.
These and the chalcopyrites are nicely distributed across the surface of the
dolomite matrix. 5.5 x 5.5 x 3 cm. An aesthetic specimen which displays well
(it stands on edge). 90$
