Barite on Quartz

This is a killer miniature with deeply saturated color, perfection in form, and quite large from the locality. Although there is a tiny contact at the bottom left lower corner I would not hesitate to say this would be competition quality. A rare find. Exceptional! Ex Ken Roberts collection.

Locality: Rock Candy Mine, near Grand Forks, British Columbia Canada

Composition: barium sulfate BaSO₄
