Item Description
Most baryte from the famous Meikle gold mine in Nevada had been destroyed until the mine reached a working contract with a team of miners in the 1990s to recover specimens intact and split profits to the company and the miners. This era saw numerous barytes in a variety of styles. These were referred to as the gems, because they are so obviously sparkly and transparent. This piece is a light matrix literally festooned with sharp, gem crystals to 1 cm in general, and all of them sparkle like glass. This style never produced larger crystals, in quantity, as some other pockets did.
