Barite

Specimen # 100025
Mineral: Barite
Location: Linwood Mine, Buffalo, Scott Co., Iowa, USA
Size: 7.8 x 4.2 x 4.0 cm

Description

This smoky coloured crystal is pristine, transparent through the upper middle section, with glassy faces – and it has the limestone inclusions and intergrowth common with the crystals from this find. However… what makes this one so special is the phantom growth inside. It is a killer phantom specimen! The main phantom is very easy to see, and there are actually smaller earlier stage phantoms as well. Under magnification, inclusions of marcasite are also apparent.

This is a wonderful barite crystal!
