The Meikle Mine of Nevada is well known for its production of some of the finest barite specimens in the world. This small-cabinet size specimen is no exception, with fantastic golden-yellow color, great luster, and mostly undamaged tabular crystal morphology. A fine example of a true American mineral treasure. Very showy and three-dimensional!
