Item Description

Elegant rosettes of bladed, cream-colored barite are aesthetically set on a mounded CABINET matrix covered with contrasting, translucent, color-zoned, purple fluorites with lightly frosted, stepped-growth faces. This is uncommon material from China. In fact, we have not seen much of this material at all. This large piece is in excellent condition and is from Guizhou Province.
