Baryte (old classic)

Item Description

A classic, old-time and excellent baryte from the famous iron mines at Frizington. The dramatic, well-formed, parallel-growth crystal cluster is very glassy, highy lustrous and is a pleasing gray. The textbook chisel terminations rest atop crystals that are transparent to translucent. This very fine, 360-degree crystal is in excellent shape, with just a bit of termination and side wear, which is certainly only a modest detraction to this choice example. Valued at $850-1000.
