Item Description

From the Jinkouhe Mining District in China comes this superb cabinet cluster of perfectly water-clear Quartz spikes beautifully accented with lustrous and transparent, textbook sharp Baryte crystals. The Quartz crystals in the cluster are from 1.5 to 4 cm in length and compare favorably with some of the best from Arkansas, France or Peru. Diamond-shaped Baryte crystals crown the entire top of the specimen with nearly two dozen crystals from 1 to 3 cm on edge and average o.5 cm in thickness. Most of the Baryte crystals are totally transparent, especially around the edges, with many displaying translucent, turbid, diamond-shaped phantoms internally for wonderful effect. The Quartz crystal points are pristine and the softer Baryte crystals are in great condition with only minor rubbing along some of the edges. This is a beautiful Quartz-Baryte combination specimen of a classic style from the 1990s, not found again in quite this same combination and style.
