Item Description

A showy miniature sized display specimen from the Rock Candy Mine in British Columbia featuring a 2.5 cm, sharp, well-formed, blokcky Baryte crystal aesthetically sitting atop additional Barytes, with no matrix. The piece is actually very close to being a complete "floater", as it crystallized on the bottom, and there are only a few minor imperfections that keep it from being 100% pristine. The light golden hue on the edges transitions into a silvery-grey tone towards the centers of the crystals. Good quality, very eye-catching and rather hard to find on the market these days.
From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert ("Al") Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
