Large Barite with Pyrite & Calcite (Kevin Brown Coll.)

Item Description

A huge, perfect, chisel-point, barite crystal from the famed Niobec Mine. Striking textbook form to this translucent crystal. One side of the chisel face is very lustrous, while all of the other sides are richly dusted with sparkly pyrite microcrystals. The micros on the other chisel face are iridescent peacock-blue and gold! Lower on one edge are clusters of small calcite rhombs. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial sidewear. An outstanding large barite from this noted locale. Ex Kevin Brown Collection. Large for locality, valued $400
