Item Description

An attractive specimen of VERY gemmy and highly lustrous, soft golden tabular Barite from the famous Meikle Mine with associated compressed rhombs of Calcite. The largest crystal measures 1.5 cm on edge. Good quality, classic material and hard to photograph, and I would say better in person. The piece comes from the collection of Helen and Raul Madrid. Valued at $800.
