Item Description

Baryte is RARE compared to abundant azurite and malachite specimens from this now famous Mexican locale. Transparent, glassy blades, to about 1.0 cm, with some beautifully included with green malachite are richly and aesthetically clustered on the starkly contrasting, snow-white dickite covered porphyry matrix. The few hard to see noted broken barite blades are certainly only a very modest detraction. A striking and uncommon Milpillas specimen.
