Barite with Calcite
specimen number:
4272251
location:
Elk Creek, Meade Co., South Dakota, USA
description:
A glassy gem terminated amber crystal of barite 5.5 cm in height set on a matrix that is covered by golden crystallized calcite. A second smaller barite crystal is also present, the back termination on this one not complete as seen in the video. This area is not visible if the piece is displayed properly. Overall I think in good condition.
