Item Description
A wonderful specimen consisting of very pale blue-grey bladed, pearly Barite crystals, measuring up to 1.7 cm. Additionally, the piece is associated with many sharp, lustrous, GEM quality, soft golden color cubic crystals of Fluorite on the back side. 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.
