Item Description
A lovely association specimen from Southern Illinois featuring attractive, stark white spherical aggregates of Baryte measuring to about 1 mm, sitting on soft blue colored Celestine matrix. While neither species is rare, specimens like this are certainly not easy to find from the Annabel Lee Mine. We've photographed the Barytes up close to better illustrate their quality.
From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974 ( https://www.mindat.org/photo-326405.html ).
