OKI-148 Pyrite Rt. # 81, Syracuse, New York. Nearly impossible to find today these specimen were once available in the mid 1980s when the locale was being worked. Exhausted/ closed now they are seldom found except in recycled collections. This one is a 2.6 x 2.5 x 1.5 cm piece with a pair of intergrown tabular crystals. It has a moderate luster and is a damage free floater. A nice example of rare material which once made the cover of Rocks and Minerals….date? 30$

OKI-172 Calcite “Clam Shell” along bank of the Indian River, Natural Bridge, New York. A short lived locality which is known to few. The specimens of calcite, like this one, actually do look very much like clam shells! 3.7 x 3.4 x 3.1 cm overall with a low luster (common to all the specimen found at this surface exposure). Translucent cream colored piece which leans to the ugly side but is an unusual find for the collector specializing in East Coast material of NYS specimens. These are actually quite rare and this is the only one I can ever remember acquiring and being able to offer for sale. 40$

OKE-022 Calcite on Dolomite Lockport, New York. Ex. Jim Turek collection. A far better than normal piece for this location. A lagre gouping of double terminated, parallel growth, skeletal calcites of a pleasing light yellow color. Crystal measure to 4.4 cm and are on a matrix coated by white dolomite. 11 x 7 x 4.5 cm. Sawn flat base. Fine displayable specimen. 100$
OKD-743 Rossie Twin Calcite Rossie, New York Ex. Jim Turek Collection. This is a nice Rossie twin of good clarity with slightly frosted surfaces. The frosted surface hides the underling clarity of this fine piece. Quite a few internal rainbows which do not show in the photos. 8.2 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm. Minor yellow areas. Old collection # on white base which should be able to be removed easily if one wishes to remove it. Base may appear damaged in some pics but this is skeletal growth. Keep in mind I do NOT back light any of my mineral photos so this specimen appears cleared in person. No damage to specimen...contact from other calcite on base and one very tiny bruise. Fully formed, classic crystal of excellent quality and form. 200$
