Item Description

A really attractive big cabinet display specimen of thick, golden Barite on matrixfrom the famous Meikle Mine. VERY sharp and rather lustrous, hefty crystals with great internal gemminess, and just a little bit of damage are associated with silvery Calcite. The largest Barite crystal measures 6.7 cm. Valued at $1,500.00 in the inventory even with a few nicks. These are some of the finest quality Barites crystals from the Western Hemisphere and are very worthwhile for collectors since there is less and less material on the market these days.
