Barite w/Dolomite # TUC0813
 |
 |
This small cabinet piece is a beautiful sculpture of tabular, golden-yellow colored, Barite crystals, and a very exciting infusion with Dolomite matrix. Yet another striking specimen from the Tucson 2008 show, that I am so happy to have listed here on my site! The lustrous Barite crystals display a very deep, rich color, and perfectly terminated in such an awesome grouping. This very aesthetic, top shelf piece, is from a recent find. |
