Item Description

A striking, dense nest of water-clear, GEM yellow barite blades from the approximately 2005 finds in Peru. The perpendicular jackstraw arrangement of the pretty blades against the bit of contrasting curved crust of oxide-coated barite is very appealing. Excellent and very highly representative material with several fine display views. Amazingly, this piece is in great shape, with just a couple of broken crystals! Valued at $400
