Barite

Item Description

A showy and excellent CABINET plate from the famous finds in the late 1990s at the Meikle Mine of Nevada. Sharp, transparent to transluent, light honey-amber, barite blades richly cover the contrasting shale matrix crust. The striking large crystal is 4.8 cm and the greater than normal isolation of the crystals are a standout. This fine piece is essentially pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. Specimens of this gemmy quality only come from recycled advanced collections. Valued at $850-1000
