Barite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
Attractive lustrous blue crystal groupings of barite measuring to almost 2.5 cm in size across the top of matrix with crystals of calcite and sphalerite. This is in really good condition. We originally sold this piece maybe 20 to 25 years ago to a collector in Kentucky named Bill Mackenzie.
