Item Description
A textbook, complete all-around ball of tan barite crystals from the famous Elmwood Mine. This is about as good as it gets from Elmwood, for a single barite ball. A few gem calcite crystals to 2.2 cm are nicely perched on the ball. The ball rests on a plate of partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals. There are more sparkly calcites sprinkled on the ball AND there are three, gorgeous, violet, gem, fluorite cubes to 1.3 cm. Essentially pristine. Outstanding older combination material from the Consie Prince Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
