OKM-145 Wolframite Dae Hwa Mine, Chung Cheong Buk Do, Korea. Ex. Harold L. Dibble collection. A very fine miniature of this less than common material.

The frontal view is damage free showing diverging blades with excellent terminations. The back is the same but dhows minor chipping as seen. Measures 5.3 x 3.8 x 2 cm. Mounted on an acrylic base. $195

OKH-600 Fluorite Taewha, South Korea. Paul and Dawne Dunning Collection. This forms a cluster that measures 3.8 x 3.6 x 2.3 cm. The cubes are large, up to 2 cm on edge, but show dings on several corners. The luster is flat, etched looking, so this specimen serves best as a reference piece. It is certainly a very unusual location to find fluorite. $25
