Item Description
An aesthetic combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine and the Consie Prince Collection. A complete all-around and pristine, 3.5 cm, barite ball is very jauntily perched atop a mounded matrix covered with very sparkly drusy quartz crystals. Lustrous, deep purple fluorite cubes are a super accent. Quartz is relatively uncommon from Elmwood, so this is classic and very showy combo material from this noted locale.
