Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of baryte from England!!! This specimen consists of a complex, doubly
terminated crystal of baryite in association with a small amount of dolomite and handsomely
accented by reddish phantoms of hematite inclusions!!! The baryte crystal has characteristic
pale blue color and clarity that ranges from translucent to gemmy!!! The outer faces of the
baryte crystals are accented by well defined areas of reddish hematite inclusions as well!!!
There is a second smaller, intergrown baryite crystal in association as well as areas of
tiny dolomite crystals!!! The baryite crystals are brilliantly lustrous and very
showy in person!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired
