Barite

Item Description

Despite the fact that there are only a handful of minerals found at the Elmwood mine, some of them are among the most recognizable minerals in the world. The classic cream colored Barites are well-known among collectors. This piece is essentially a LARGE "snowball"-shaped aggregate of translucent, cream colored Barite with very minor reddish-brown Sphalerite and pale lilac Fluorote on the back. A classic example of an Elmwood Barite. Please note that there will be an additional shipping charge due to the weight of this piece.
