A very difficult-to-obtain, fine old Creede Baryte! The crystals grade from a waxy yellowish color, to blue-gray, to a cream color right near the termination. I was lucky to obtain TWO of these from an old collection; both equally fine, apparently from the same original specimen. They have been verified by showing them to several Colorado field collectors, who had similar material in their collection 10.3 x 6.6 x 4.1 cm
