specimen number:
3011006
location:
Minerva No. 1 Mine, Cave-in-Rock Sub-District, Illinois - Kentucky Fluorspar District, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
description: Pearly blue thin tabular crystals of barite to 4.0 cm in size attractive over the top of an 11.0 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm matrix. Minor micro-chipping present but sparse, I think this in very good condition. Sits nicely by itself for display and will show all around. Very minor calcite present as well. This was collected back in the middle 1970s.
Size: 11.0 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm (cabinet)
