Item Description
A striking and beautiful fan-shaped spray of very glassy, chisel-pointed, golden-amber barite crystals from the Rosh Pinah Mine. These are the finest barites from Namibia and compare well with barite worldwide. This large piece displays great from both directions! One view highlights the crystal fan geometry and the other, the glassiness and luster of the crystals. Nearly pristine, with only one barely noticeable cleaved termination. Very fine material. Valued at $1200-1500. the color here is TOP GRADE golden hue, like barite from nowhere else!
