Item Description
Barite specimens from the historic Clara Mine are a European classic. This very showy, 360-degree cluster of fat, lustrous barite blades with sharp chisel terminations has the outer rind of barite included with rust-red hematite, with very nice and colorful effect. All of the terminations are lightly cleaved, but this remains an excellent, colorful and artistic example of the species from this well-known locale.
