Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent, old time classic example of barite from England!!! This specimen consists of a sharp, PRISTINE crystal of colorless barite from this
classic locality!!! The crystals have bright, glassy luster, and marked clarity!!! The crystals have attractive, well defined phantoms and zoned chalcopyrite
inclusions as well!!! However, the most notable feature of this specimen is its astonishing condition - the termination is absolutely pristine, with sharply defined, highly lustrous
faces!!! This is an AMAZING specimen indeed!!! This specimen is very bright and showy in person!!! The specimen retains old unattributed labels in addition to an
old label from the Humboldt Museum in Berlin, Germany!!! This museum is known as the largest natural history museum in Germany and
its mineral collections it houses date back as far as the Prussian Academy circa 1700!!! The pics don't even come close to capturing just how fine this
old time classic beauty is in person!!! Classic material indeed!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 9th!!!
