Item Description

Rosh Pinah has produced the finest Namibian barites and this is an excellent, aesthetic and rare combination. Delightful sprays of gemmy to translucent, golden-amber to straw-yellow, barite crystals are attractively scattered on the sculptural mounded matrix of sparkly, granular galena. A rare accessory is the seam of what appears to be golden chalcopyrite microcrystals just above the central barite spray. Classic, showy and rare combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection. A must for the locality or species collector.
