Item Description

An impressive large and unusual combination specimen from this noted locale. Two generations of glassy, tabular barite blades fill the striking sharp L-shaped vug. The larger amber blades host clusters of smaller, near colorless crystals in the middle. This piece is solid barite, but the back is totally different! Here, the barite on both faces of the back are black from inclusions and coatings of tiny jamesonite needles! Striking and fine large material with just a bit of periphery wear and bruising. Choice and RARE combination material from the Bob Trimingham Collection. Valued at $500.
