Barite with Quartz, Stibnite(?)
specimen number:
8811295
location:
Cavnic, Maramures Co., Romania
description:
A floater cluster of lustrous bladed translucent crystals of barite. Many of these are dark in color due to inclusions of what possibly is stibnite. Very minimal cleaving present, I think this in great condition all around. Minor quartz is present. Very nice for this famous mining district closed since 2008.
Size: 7.0 x 5.0 x 4.5 cm (small-cabinet)
Collection: Bill and Diana Dameron
