Barite with Fluorite, Dolomite
specimen number:
4871082
location:
Elmwood mine, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA
description: A wonderful large cabinet combination piece. A ball of crystallized barite 8.0 cm in diameter set at the top of this breccia matrix. Groupings of gemmy lustrous light purple cubic fluorite crystals to just under 3.0 cm in size are scattered throughout. The matrix is mostly covered by white pearly crystallized dolomite. Micro-cleaving present but very minimal, I think this piece in excellent condition.
Size: 22.0 x 18.0 x 6.0 cm (large-cabinet)
