Large Baryte on Fluorite (Allen Dillwith Coll.)

Item Description

Wow! This is the largest and richest barite specimen we have seen from the limited 2005 finds at this fluorite deposit. Gemmy, very glassy, tabular, zoned golden-yellow to golden-brown crystals are festooned on the undulating underlying massive gray-green fluorite matrix. Rich preferential secondary coatings of tiny barite crystals are a striking accent to this impressive large combination. The beautiful large gemmy zoned barite is 3.8 cm on the diagonal. Purple fluorite fluorescence. Rare in this size, this is an exceptionally rich and essentially pristine large example from the find and locale from the Allen Dillwith Collection. Hefty at 8.4 pounds or 3.8 kilos mass.
