Item Description
Glassy, pearlescent, barite spearpoints in enechelon bundles are richly and attractively mounded on the bit of fluorite matrix on this classic and aesthetic CABINET specimen from the famous Annabel Lee Mine of Southern Illinois. For such extensive and rich coverage, there is only trivial periphery wear. An excellent and highly representative large example of the species and noted locale. Valued at $750-1000. Always these were rare and highly treasured and valued, by the local miners
