Description
This big, thick, honey-yellow Barite crystal from the Meikle Gold Mine in Nevada is graced with a cluster of grey Calcite matter on one side making the whole specimen appearance truly aesthetics! The Barite crystals are incredibly lustrous, transparent to translucent. The color is vibrant and captivating honey-yellow. The Barite has well-defined faces and edges and the large, tabular faces show faint, intricate growth lines in the right light. Most Barite specimens from the Meikle Mine are medium to light yellow and this is a rich deep yellow color with much more intense saturation, a much more glassy luster.
