OKH-756 Fluorite Goschner Alp, Canton Uri, Switzerland. Ex. Paul and Dawne Dunning Collection. A 2.1 x 2 x 1.3 cm cluster with nice pink octahedrons to 1.5 cm on edge. They have slightly frosted surfaces and are transparent internally. Looks like it is a floater but it is mounted on a post in a perky box so it is impossible to tell this without removing it. The piece views well form all sides and is damage free. Very Nice! $95

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
