Large Baryte (2012 find)

Item Description

Striking large baryte crystals are dramatically intergrown to form an impressive CABINET specimen from the well-known 2012 finds at the Linwood Mine. The super glassy and lustrous, transparent, sharply terminated, gray-brown prisms have both glass-clear and satin faces. The tabular spearpoints from top to bottom are 6.4, 8.2 and 10.8 cm long. The noted broken tip on the large crystal has minimal impact to the overall excellence and high sculptural quality of these large well-formed crystals. These are some of the finest large US barites. Valued at $1500.
