Item Description
Golden, gemmy barite from the Black Cloud Mine is a Colorado classic. This striking and sculptural, two-sided rib of porcupine quill-like clusters of frosted "blue" quartz points hosts scattered gemmy, tabular crystals on both sides. The gorgeous, large, zoned crystal is 1.1 x 1.0 cm. In super shape, barring the contacting on two sides. Fine combination material from the Harold Urish Collection, acquired in 1997.
