Description
A superb miniature from this classic old locality. The specimen consists of a grouping of double terminated semi lustrous blue barite crystals set on a small amount of pink crystallized calcite. One small cleaved crystal present; overall I think in great condition. At one time the specimen was part of the collection of John Brottlund, a miner who was responsible for the majority of specimens saved from the crusher from this famous old locality. Good examples of blue barite from this locality are rarely seen available on the market today. This one is super. The specimen was on public display at both the Cincinnati, 1993, 1997 and Denver 1997 shows.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
