Item Description
A striking, complete all-around cluster of glassy and lustrous, olive-green to olive-brown, paralllel-growth, barite blades attached to sloping gossan matrix from Frizington, England. Very trivial bruising to the multiple terminations is certainly not a detraction. Matrix barite specimens of this size are not that common. Excellent, historic, old-time material from the Robert Whitmore Collection.
