Barite with Quartz (Schlichter Coll.)

Item Description

Lustrous, gemmy to translucent, blocky, color-zoned honey-brown to golden-yellow baryte crystals form a fine plate from Montana. The preferential overgrowth coating of sparkly quartz crystals adds pazzazz. The piece displays great from either side. An uncommon and most excellent combination piece from this locale. Ex. Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection.
