Item Description

Pale blue to light mint-green, glassy, baryte crystals are RARE and desirable from this famed locale. Glassy, transparent to translucent blades, to 1.5 cm, are preferentially clustered on the fantastically sculptural large 3-dimensional limonite matrix covered with glassy, colorless calcite rhombs. This outstanding combination is complete all-around and is essentially pristine, with only very trivial bruising and the noted basal periphery wear. Very choice material from the Bob Trimingham Collection. Valued at $750-1000 for rarity, size, richness and quality. Pale greenish-yellow baryte fluorescence.
