Baryte & Quartz from China

A striking large‑cabinet specimen featuring high‑clarity quartz crystals accented by transparent, tabular baryte blades, sourced from the well‑known Jinkouhe District of Sichuan Province, China. The quartz displays sharp terminations and bright, glassy luster, forming a clean, architectural cluster that catches light beautifully.

Delicate, clear baryte crystals sit nestled among the quartz points, forming subtle tabular growths that add mineral contrast and textural interest without overwhelming the piece. These baryte blades are unusually transparent for the locality, giving the specimen a refined, elegant presence.

Soft golden tones move through the quartz due to natural iron‑oxide staining, adding warmth and depth to the overall composition. At 1477 g, this is a substantial, display‑ready specimen with strong visual balance and collector appeal.

This piece was acquired from Crystal Classics, one of the world’s most respected fine‑mineral dealers, and includes its original provenance label — a detail that enhances both authenticity and long‑term value.
