Item Description

A very impressive, large, bladed, barite hemisphere from the famous Elmwood. The rich peppering of gem, amber calcite crystals on the top half of the ball REALLY adds character. The ball is pristine and just of couple of bruised calcites are noted. A bit of rubyjack sphalerite pokes out on one edge. A very fine, large example of these combination species and classic for the locale. Older material from the Consie Prince Collection.
