SOLD
This mine is noted for fine calcite crystals on fluorite. However this is an especially fine cluster of slightly radiating crystals of amber-colored, lustrous, bladed Baryte which is perched on purple fluorite. In turn, the fluorite is studded with tiny calcite crystals. The longest Baryte is 3 cm in length. There is one slight (natural?) divot in one Baryte crystal that is hard to notice but nevertheless is there; otherwise the group is in good shape. The largest of the intergrown fluorite crystal is 1.5 cm across. A label notes that it was collected in 1984. 6.9 x 6.3 x 5.9 cm
