Item Description

A classic and very showy combination specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine. A striking, corsage-like ball of bladed barite is beautifully complimented by the cluster of lustrous, color-zoned fluorite cubes. The underlying matrix is rubyjack sphalerite. Very nearly pristine, the large cube has one gently bruised corner. Very fine combo material with several display views. Older material from the Consie Prince Collection.
