Item Description

An attractive specimen of gemmy and lustrous, soft golden tabular Barite from the famous Meikle Mine with sitting atop compressed rhombs of Calcite. The largest crystal measures 6.5 cm on edge, which is good sized for the material. Good quality, classic material and hard to photograph, and I would say better in person. Very little damage, and showy all the way around. The piece comes from the collection of Helen and Raul Madrid. Valued at $1500 in the inventory.
