Item Description
A 6.2 cm, stout, prismatic, doubly terminated barite crystal with textbook chisel terminations forms a very aesthetic and excellent specimen from the classic locale in Sardinia. The yellow-amber crystals are very glassy, gemmy and have striking preferentially coated or included crystal faces. The frontal face of the large crystal is contacted from another crystal, but there is no damage, per se. The large crystal is essentially pristine, with only two spots of barely noticeable rubbing. Classic, choice, 360-degree Silius barite.
