Item Description
An utterly sensational old English barite. It truly has the appearance of a gem topaz crystal with the classic, modified chisel termination! The colorless crystal has faces that alternate between glassy and silky. The interior is absolutely transparent, with the internal crazing adding depth and character. You can look straight through the crystal on the ends. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only trivial bit of edgewear. Classic and uncommon barite on this locale in the form and quality. Ex Larry Krause Collection.
