Barite with Orpiment
You are probably familiar with the bright orange-red plates of orpiment from this locality (there is one in this update). But you probably have not seen specimens from this tiny find, a pocket of GEM barite in association with the orpiment! Not many specimens at all came out, and over 90% of them were damaged, partial crystals. This is by far the largest crystal we have seen from the find (mid-2005), and incredibly gemmy as well! It is complete and TERMINATED, too � there were only a handful that were. The termination is rough, yes, but it is natural (contacted - not damaged or chipped). The color is a BEAUTIFUL gemmy citrine-amber hue. The barite itself measures 6 cm, over 2 inches. For this find, this is a truly significant specimen!
