Baryte, Fluorite, Sphalerite & Chalcopyrite (Ross Lillie Coll.)

Item Description

According to Ross Lillie's handwritten note, this showy and excellent large combination piece has an "Unusual habit of barite for this mine." Glassy pearlescent blades are richly and attractively strewn across the intergrown matrix of translucent, color-zoned, purple and colorless fluorite cubes. The scattered clusters of rubyjack sphalerite crystals, some with golden chalcopyrite sphenoids, are a nice and complimentary accent. Pristine. Ex Ross Lillie Collection # 1932 and collected in April, 1994 from the Poe pod.
