Gemmy Baryte xls (mid-2000s finds)

Item Description

A dramatic, sculptural and exceptional matrix barite from the mid-2000s finds at this exhausted Peru locale. A 5.8 cm, doubly terminated, rich yellow, gemmy, very glassy compound windowpane is beautifully set on the spare sandstone matrix artistically accented with smaller blades, that project out at different angles. This extremely elegant small cabinet is nearly pristine, with only trivial bruise to the tip of the large crystal. Valued at $750 and worth it. These are some of the world's finest barites to come out in the recent past. Once fairly common, you seldom see many around of this quality today.
