Item Description
A very rarely seen display specimen (the best one I've encountered) of bladed Barite that is completely covered by sparkling, rich purple micro Fluorite from this lesser known locality in New Mexico. The piece is from the Allen V. Heyl Collection, who was a friend of a the Kosnar family and for whom the species Aheylite was named. If you collect New Mexico minerals, don't miss out on this HARD TO FIND cabinet display specimen.
