Item Description

A wonderful specimen consisting of bladed, soft blue color, pearly Barite crystals, measuring up to 1.1 cm on matrix. The piece is in great shape overall. It's hard to differentiate between individual crystals in the photos as the piece was difficult to photograph, and honestly it looks better in person. It does help that the biggest crystals are jutting out at the top of the specimen so you can see them a bit more clearly. A worthwhile and attractive Barite specimen from this well known Fluorite producing district. For the size, amount of crystals and unique overall appearance of the piece, it's worth picking up for any collector.
