Barite with Calcite (FAKE)
specimen number:
3331555
location:
near Myers, Treasure Co., Montana, USA
description:
This would be an outstanding specimen for this location, still it is quite beautiful. Unfortunately the termination on the barite was chipped along one side and somebody artfully tried to cover this up by gluing small yellow crystals of calcite in place to make it appear perfect. Neat for any suite of fake minerals.
