3.4" Tabular Barite Crystal Cluster with Phantoms - China
This is a 3.4" wide cluster of tabular, light-yellow barite crystals collected from the Xikuangshan Sb deposit in Hunan, China. The clarity and luster of these crystals is wonderful, allowing for the interior bi-colored phantoms to be seen in detail. There is some minor damage to the edges of some of these crystals.
Comes with an acrylic display stand.
