Item Description

Excellent quality, gem-like, blocky, golden-amber Barite crystals to 9 mm are sitting on the massive green fluorite matrix on this dramatic and impressive cabinet specimen from finds in China a couple of years ago. When the piece is backlit, the color is GORGEOUS. These are truly fine quality Barites from the standpoint of color, luster, form and gemminess, and to have them form on such beautiful green Fluorite matrix makes them all the more enticing. Minor roughness here and there, but certainly worth picking up for your collection. Valued at $1200.
