Blue Baryte (classic Colorado) Bartels Coll.

Item Description

Classic and dramatically sculptural two-sided barite from this well-known Colorado locale. Blue-gray, lustrous, translucent, stout, parallel-growth blades have striking serrated terminations, which are nicely accented with a field of small blades on one side. The fantastic interior cleft adds real pizzazz to this fine, artistic example from Hartsel. Ex Ted Bartels Collection.
