Barite (Smithsonian & Obodda Coll.)

Item Description

Egremont barites are an English and this is a very fine and aesthetic old-time example. The striking parallel-growth spearpoints are very glassy, translucent and have the desirable bluish-gray color. The preferential light hematite tinting is a classic accent. All of the presentation views are pristine. The one cleaved termination is out-of-sight on the back. Classic and excellent barite from the Smithsonian Museum and the Herb Obodda Collection # 2913.
