Baryte, Sphalerite, Calcite & Dolomite (Robert Whitmore Coll.)

Item Description

A 6.0 cm, bladed baryte hemisphere peppered with tiny gemmy, amber calcite crystals dominates this fantastically scuptural large combination specimen from this famous mine. The striking sail-like body is covered with lustrous, gray dolomite rhombs and is dramatically accented by highly lustrous, rubyjack sphalerite crystals, small baryte "balls" and only one side has more calcite crystals. The piece looks like a scepter in the vertical view. This most excellent large piece has three fine display views. Choice combination material from the Robert Whitmore Collection and valued at $750.
