Calcite and Barite (Consie Prince Coll.)

Item Description

A 6.9 cm, glassy, rich golden-amber, calcite crystal and a classic barite ball are aesthetically attached to a shard of matrix on this showy and excellent combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine. The attachment area on the back is accented with lustrous rubyjack sphalerite. The termination area of the calcite is particularly gemmy. A bit of termination edgewear is noted, but is a modest detraction to this fine combo piece. The sculptural aspect of this piece is striking. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
