Item Description

A very sculptural, elongated, floater cluster of intergrown baryte "roses" from Oklahoma. These classic Oklahoma specimens formed in the Permian-aged Garber Sandstone and the sand grains are included in the baryte crystal structure. Nearly pristine, with only one small broken "petal". Choice and aesthetic material from the Bob Trimingham Collection from a relatively recent find.
