Item Description
A cool midwestern Barite specimen featuring sharp, blocky, multi-colored, pearly crystals of Barite which are associated with a few minor golden scalenohedral Calcite crystals. The Barites range in color from pale yellow to white to a silvery-grey hue. The largest crystal measures 2.2 cm across. The piece comes with several labels, and is the only one from this locality I have seen. Definitely worth picking up with minimal damage.
