Item Description
RARE style barite from a most obscure Paraiba State locale. Glassy, transparent to translucent colorless to creamy narrow tabular barite prisms with chisel terminations strikingly cover the matrix jackstraw-style. The blades in the dramatic crossed pair reach 3.3 cm (slightly curved) and the largest flat lying blade is 4.0 cm (also curved). No barites in the MINDAT Photo Gallery for Paraiba State resemble this piece.
