Item Description

Impressive large and stout doubly terminated barite crystal from Champeix, a less well-known area of Puy-de-Dome, France. This striking, well-formed equant orthorhombic crystal is very glassy and lustrous, transparent to translucent and has interesting variable hues of brown, gray/white and golden-yellow. This exceptional crystal is large for the locale and is complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only trivial contacting on one corner. Ex Paul Zerfass Collection. Valued by well-known French dealer, Alain Martaud, at $750.
