Item Description

Barite specimens are very uncommon from this well-known Peruvian district. The sculptural large crust is festooned with very glassy, transparent, colorless, barite blades with nifty phantoms or color zoning. Intensely sparkly drusy quartz is a nice compliment and back is partially covered with scintillating pyrite microcrystals. A rare and most excellent large combination piece from this locale.
