Barite with Fluorite, Sphalerite
specimen number:
1503387
location:
Elmwood Mine, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA
description:
Very attractive combination piece from this famous locality with hemispherical shaped crystal groupings of white barite to 7.5 cm in diameter over the top of a 12.0 x 10.0 x 5.5 cm matrix with lustrous black sphalerite crystals and translucent attractive purple fluorite crystals measuring to two point centimeter on a diagonal. Extremely minimal micro-cleaving on some of the fluorite crystal edges, I think this is in very fine condition overall. Shipping weight: 3.03 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
