Item Description

Glassy, transparent to translucent, tabular, barite crystals are richly scattered and are strikingly accented by sparkly, rich burnt-orange, nubby, orpiment botryoids on this showy and colorful mounded combination piece from a recent Peruvian find. Excellent and highly representative material for the species and noted locale.
