Item Description
First-rate combination of sharp, gemmy Barite blades on Calcite, accented with iridescent Pyrite crystals. The Barite blades are gemmy, highly lustrous, and range up to 7 mm on edge. They rest on many blades of white, cryptocrystalline Calcite that are in almost an elongated arrangement of flower petals. Decorating the Calcites are many sparkly 1 mm Pyrite crystals. Exceptionally good and aesthetic, it is far better in person.
