Collected over half a century ago in 1971, it captures the final productive years of Oklahoma’s legendary Picher Field. The piece is a masterclass in mineral association, displaying a rich architecture of metallic sulfides, sharp Galena, lustrous honey-brown Sphalerite, and brassy Pyrite, nested upon a rugged Dolomite matrix. For the serious collector, this is more than a display piece; it is a preserved fragment of a now-lost American mining frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSPECIMEN DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMineralogy:\u003c\/b\u003e Galena, Sphalerite, Pyrite, and Dolomite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 14.9 x 11.9 x 7.1 cm (5.9\" x 4.7\" x 2.8\").\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.53 kg (5.58 lbs).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/b\u003e Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) deposit; historical 1971 provenance; rare multi-mineral sulfide association; substantial museum-scale cabinet size.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLocality:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mindat.org\/loc-4058.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePicher Mine, Ottawa County, Oklahoma, USA \u003c\/a\u003e(Collected 1971).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll Gatsby Gems specimens are hand-selected for scientific accuracy and aesthetic brilliance.
