Switzerland Mineral Specimens

 

OKF-359

OKF-359    Quartz    Ziggenstock, Grimsel, Switzerland.  Ex. Anthony P. Dunn Collection.  Circ. 1975.  This cluster of smoky quartz crystals measures 8.5 x 8 x 4.4 cm.  It is not perfect in that a couple tips have minor rubs and one has a small ding.  This aside it is still a very nice grouping composed of gemmy crystals.  All the sides and base of specimen are regrown.  An attractive piece.  $175

OKF-156    Actinolite    Tyrolian Alps, Switzerland.  Ex.  Dr. Chamberlain Collection.  Previously Ralph E. Lampham collection.  This specimen measures 8 x 6.5 x 3.5 cm.  The rock is totally shot through with translucent to gemmy actinolite crystals.  The specimen is probably better suited as a reference piece, but it is reasonably displayable.  $35
