Item Description
A really attractive and rarely seen specimen of golden tabular Barite from the famous Meikle Mine with a nearly 95% coating of metallic golden Pyrite. If anything, I would consider this to be a unique novelty and a reference piece. It is nonetheless rare, as I've only seen a couple others like it.
