Item Description

The Meikle Mine is famous for its superb, tabular golden Barytes like this one. The crystals here are large, sharp, gemmy, glassy and in select condition, as well as some of the best golden yellow color you could ask for! These super lustrous gemmy crystals are from 1 to 4 cm on edge and display really well all over this cabinet piece. These amazing crystals from this locality show better when upright and visible, and that is certainly the case here. This is a very handsome piece that will stand out in any display! It's from the great find of the late 1990s, probably the Rustbucket Pocket or one nearby. It is a style well known from the time, and even then would have been well above $1000 at the time it came out. Today, we seldom see this quality for sale, and it is worth much more. It has amazing color, saturated and lustrous! Valued $2500-plus.
