Item Description

An attractive group of well-formed, gemmy, pale golden color, tabular crystals of Barite creating a worthwhile small cabinet sized display specimen. This locality is well known for it's Fluorite specimens, but good Barites are not terribly common to find on the market. This area is completely closed down and will never produce these specimens again. One of the few Hardin County Barites that I have offered in a while. Classic material.
