Item Description

A beautiful and aesthetic spray of glassy, gemmy crystals of South Dakota barite with pretty variable honey-yellow color and near colorless terminations. The crystals are attached to a thin plate of calcite in back. The terminations are complete, with one area of natural pocket contact on the upper right side. Excellent material from this obscure locality. Valued at $345.
