Fluorite on Barite

Due to restrictions in trade with Iran we do not see many specimens reach the US market. This piece is very attractive, with opaque white parralel blades of barite forming a matrix on which clear zoning to purple fluorites to .6cm have formed. Some additional barite then formed on several fluorite faces. In spectacular condition
