Item Description

The very fine blue Barytes from Frizington are true classics, dating to the 1800s. The largest crystal here (3.5 cm) is doubly-terminated, as are a number of the other crystals. The luster is outstanding, and the grey-blue color is both delicate and dazzling in its own way. The Barytes rest on a bed of lustrous, curvaceous Dolomite crystals, and these are decorated by thousands of iridescent, micro Specular Hematites. The aesthetics are truly distinctive, and it displays vertically or horizontally. The overall form and shape hides the fact that one Baryte on each side, low and out of the way, has been cleaved, although it is hard to spot in the overall 3-dimensional frontal presentation. It is a truly classic example of these fine old specimens, in just the right size! Better in person. ex Art Soregaroli collection
