Item Description
A beautiful and highly aesthetic display piece of these now classic Barites from Peru. This piece was mined in 2004. It features a group of sharp, lustrous, gemmy, tabular bladed Barite crystals of a beautiful golden color and wonderfully growing at a 90 degree angle on a narrow piece of matrix. For the most part, the piece is in good shape, but there are some incomplete areas around the periphery where it was removed from the pocket wall. I love the balance and three-dimensional appeal of the specimen as it displays wonderfully as you can see from the photos. These pieces are now hard to find on the market, and certainly worth picking up if you collect Barites, Peruvian minerals or cabinet display pieces.
