Item Description

The Rock Candy Mine is a classic Canadian locale, well-known for fluorite and barite specimens. This is a striking and aesthetic specimen of a jagged sawtooth row of glassy, translucent, tabular, amber barite crystals, with a very nifty sidecar crystal, beautifully set on a plate of drusy quartz. This very fine piece is essentially pristine, as the barite row is pristine. Trivial edge bruising is noted to the sidecar crsytal.
