Item Description

Classic, showy and uncommon large barite from Norway. Rich honey-yellow color highlights this translucent, glassy, lustrous tabular prism with an interesting sloping double termination. Barite is an uncommon species from Norway, except from this extinct Zn-Cu-Pb mine, which crossed a rich barite vein (MINDAT). Barytes from here resemble specimens from the famous iron mines of Cumbria, England in color and form. The crystal GLOWS, when backlit. Complete all-around and in great shape overall, with only a bit of scattered bruising and an out-of-sight contact lower on the back. Ex Bob Reynolds Collection, a well-known fossil and mineral expert and Curator of the San Bernardino County Museum. He passed away in 2020. Seldom available, this is a highly representative and classic large example of the species and locale.
