Barite from Meikle Mine, Nevada, USA
Meikle Mine barite is one of the great modern American mineral-specimen stories: a high-grade underground gold mine on Nevada’s Carlin Trend that unexpectedly opened vugs and caverns lined with gemmy golden barite. The best specimens have a look that is instantly recognizable—transparent to translucent lemon-yellow, honey-gold, amber, or orange-gold crystals with bright glassy faces, often perched on cream, gray, or greenish calcite from hot underground voids.
