Barite, Quartz, Calcite
This is a rare treasure indeed, one of just a few specimens found in a freak pocket about a decade ago. It is from the personal collection of a Russian mineral dealer, that was privately sold at the show (name on purchase). The piece is PERFECT. It is undamaged, and complete all around. It consists of a doubly-terminated golden barite crystal, with gem terminations, perched on quartz matrix. It just about sits on its own, even. A 3-cm crystal of disc-shaped calcite sits adjacent to the upper barite termination, for accent. The barite itself measures 8 x 2.5 x 2 cm or so. In my years, i had ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER from this pocket before, ever! And this one blows it away....I am told it is one of the two best known. This is a rare gem crystal, a rare Russian piece, and just a superb aesthetic specime nby any standard. It is from the private collection of a dealer who was involved in early specimens coming out of Dalnegorsk.
