Item Description

A wonderful specimen consisting of bladed, pearly Barite crystals. Additionally, the piece is associated with sharp, lustrous, pale yllow crystals of Calcite on the bottom. The piece is in good shape overall, with only a few broken Barites. It's hard to differentiate between individual crystals as the piece was difficult to photograph, and honestly it looks better in person. A worthwhile and attractive Barite specimen from this well known Fluorite producing district. For the size, amount of crystals and unique overall appearance of the piece, it's worth picking up for any collector.
