Barite on Calcite
Elk Creek, Dalzell, Meade Co., South Dakota, USA
84 x 78 x 51 mm

A gorgeous, lustrous, gemmy, transparent, deep-amber-colored orthorhombic Barite crystal measuring 24 mm in length is set perfectly upon a matrix covered by pretty yellow crystallized Calcite to 14 mm. The Barite has a classic, razor sharp, chisel termination. The piece is perfectly proportioned and sits by itself for display. No damage. (Author: GneissWare)
