Barite with Pyrite and Fluorite

Item Description

A classic, very sharp and showy barite blade from the Niobec Mine of Quebec. The complete all-around, lustrous, translucent, tabular, gray crystal has an excellent, beveled termination, with just faint edgewear. The crystal is wonderfully highlighted by a RICH, preferential dusting of sparkly, golden pyrite microcrystals. The pyrite also coats the small fluorite cubes on one side. This is a nifty, highly representative specimen of the combination species and famous locale.
