Quartz with Barite

Item Description

A glorious CABINET cluster of perfectly water-clear quartz spikes beautifully accented with lustrous, preferentially frosted, doubly terminated barite crystals from recent finds in Sichuan, China. The large barite is 4.4 cm across. These quartz crystals compare very favorably to the finest from Arkansas, France or Peru, plus they have barite! Expertly collected and very nearly pristine, I can see only one quartz crystal with minute termination wear and one bruised, small barite crystal. Barely noticeable. This dramatic quartz hedgehog looks great from either side. This is a world-class quartz-barite combination specimen.
