Item Description
The Moscona mine is known best for its attractive blue Barites and golden Fluorites. This small cabinet display specimen features beautifully blue and white bicolored, fairly thick, bladed crystals of Barite measuring up to 1.5 cm sitting atop a small amount of HIGHLY lustrous, gemmy, golden colored cubic crystals of Fluorite measuring up to 6 mm on edge. A worthwhile and attractive specimen from this well known Fluorite producing district. How often does one have the opportunity to buy a nice blue Barite with good aesthetics for a reasonable price these days. It's hard enough to find any crystallized specimens of Blue Barite from any locality nowadays.
