Item Description
A classic, very sharp and showy fat barite blade from the Niobec Mine of Quebec. The complete all-around, lustrous, translucent, tabular, orange-brown crystal has an excellent, beveled termination, with just faint edgewear. The crystal is wonderfully highlighted by a RICH, preferential coating of small fluorite cubes and a peppering of oxidized, pyrite microcrystals. This is a very fine, highly representative older specimen of the combination species and famous locale. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. valued $400
