specimen number:
1341791
location:
Joplin, Tri-State District, Missouri, USA
description:
Of all the tens of thousands of specimens that have come from this mining district over the years, barite was always considered quite rare. This current example shows a cluster of light blue tabular crystals without matrix. In very good condition, such specimens are rarely seen available on the market today. This likely dates to pre-1940.
