Baryte
Settlingstones Mine, Newbrough, Northumberland, England, UK
18.5 x 17.8 x 12.4 cm (7.28 x 7.01 x 4.88 in)

This hefty, old-time Baryte specimen was mined around 1918 from the classic Settlingstones Mine in Northumberland. The specimen is dominated by three large, bristling mounds of colorless to white Baryte spear points, each with a vitreous luster. These radiating groups converge toward the center of the specimen, creating a strong three-dimensional presentation with a nicely balanced visual weight across the display.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.
