OKF-357 Galena and Marcasite Tri-state District, Grace Walker Mine, Pichure, Oklahoma. Ex. Anthony P. Dunn Collection. Circ. 1975. An interesting cluster galena crystals which have epitactic overgrowths of galena and what appears to be marcasite. The specimen is regrown on the backside and it appears to have one missing corner crystal but this area is regrown, also. Damage free, displayable, interesting and desirable. This is similar to the material photographed on page 316 of the book, "American Mineral Treasures". The specimen measures 9.6 x 9 x 4.5 cm. $225

OKF-059 Galena Oklahoma. Ex. Art Edwards Collection. A fine specimen which is composed of large cubes to 5.9 cm on edge and smaller, to 1.3 cm each, octahedrons. Specimens like this are normally very unattractive while this one is quite aesthetic. The octahedrons stand way up of the matrix adding to their visibility. The entire specimen has an attractive patina. There is a minor dusting of chalcopyrite here and there. This one measures 10.4 x 9.5 x 7 cm. Great Piece! 420$

OKE-391 Calcite on Dolomite and Chalcopyrite Tri State Mining District, Pitcher, Oklahoma. Ex. Art Edwards Collection. Oh my…this is the nicest cabinet specimen I have seen of this material. Beautiful inclusions in the calcites, impeccable form and top shelf quality. One backside crystal is cleaved at tip but no other damage even very close to the edges. Fine displayable pieces like this one are certainly not common place. This could be the best value in the entire listing. 240$
