Quartz ps. After Barite (rare) ex Hauck Coll.

Item Description

An exceptional and very rare CABINET pseudomorph specimen from the well-known Julcani Mine of Peru. Sparkly milky quartz crystals with transparent tips have pseudomorphed a striking parallel-growth cluster of large, sharp, tabular, barite crystals. The largest pseudo is about 7.0 cm. This piece looks great from three sides and is essentially pristine. I am hardpressed to find very many broken quartz crystals. The back is contacted on the pyrite matrix and the base has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Specimens of this quality date to the 1970s or early 80s. Ex Richard Hauck Quartz Collection and valued at $1200-1500. Try to find another of this size and quality! I have not seen one...
