Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique, old time example of baryte from this classic locale!!! This specimen consists of a stout, blocky
crystal of baryte with a second, smaller interpenetrant crystal!!! The baryite crystal exhibits a most pleasing and
unique lavender color!!! The crystals have sharp faces with marked luster and clarity that ranges from
translucent to gemmy!!! This specimen retains an old, handscripted label with corresponding affixed catalogue number and
likely dates to the 19th century!!! A handsome and unique old time "lavender" baryte from France!!!
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 the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer
and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
