Item Description
Lustrous, azure-blue, linarite blades richly cover the sculptural matrix of barite on this excellent combination old-timer from the famous Blanchard Claims. Brent Lockhart bought this fine piece in 1971, according to his label, which is way before the more famous find of the 1980s. $58 was not cheap in 1971! Comes with a custom, labeled lucite base, as a free bonus.
