Item Description

Gem-like, blocky to tabular, honey-brown baryte crystals to 1.0 cm are studded on the drusy quartz-covered massive green fluorite matrix on this fine cabinet specimen from finds in China a couple of years ago. Sadly, very few of these pretty specimens have come out, and one wonders if any more will. Purple fluorescence on the fluorite.
