    Description

    Baryte
    Meikle Mine
    Bootstrap District
    Elko Co.
    Nevada, USA
    14.96 x 11.42 x 5.51 inches (38.00 x 29.00 x 14.00 cm)

    Terms like "museum-quality" can often get overused when describing mineral specimens, but that is not the case with this superlative "winter wonderland" of snowy crystalline material. Numerous thin, fibrous crystals populate this huge plate anchored by clear Quartz points and balls of Chalcopyrite. This is a huge decorative piece but with plenty of collectible characteristics. It appears to be a pseudomorph of Baryte.

    [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
