A beautiful combination specimen with glassy translucent thick tabular amber colored crystals of barite measuring to 4.0 cm in size on a matrix of dark purple botryoidal lustrous translucent crystallized fluorite. This fluorite is incredibly fluorescent under both longwave and shortwave ultraviolet light. Very slight and tiny micro-chipping on one crystal, considering the size of this piece a number of crystals present this is in really good condition.
