Item Description

The famous locality at Elk Creek has produced some of the most distinctive and eye-catching baryte specimens in the world. The dramatic, large, 7.2 cm, baryte highlights this very fine and aesthetic large combination. The gemmy baryte is a rich, golden-honey color and has a textbook chisel termination. The backdrop of the yellow calcite crystals, with first-class rich straw-yellow color is an Elk Creek classic. Expertly collected and prepared, this is an essentially pristine beauty. Valued at $1200-1500. You don't see many around of this quality anymore.
