Item Description

A spectacular looking barite and calcite small cabinet combination from Elk Creek. A fantastic pristine, 7.8 cm doubly terminated barite crystal is dramatically set atop the barite and calcite matrix. The highly lustrous, glassy, transparent to translucent crystals have gorgeous, golden-brown to golden yellow-orange color with hints of red. The striking chisel terminations are typically etched. The smaller crystals on one side really add visual pleasure to this very fine two-sided example. The barites GLOW, when back lit! Classic and excellent Elk Creek barite and calcite. Valued at $1000-1500 and worth it.
