Barite with Fluorite
specimen number:
4591061
location:
Annabel Lee mine, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
description:
Lustrous thin bladed white to light bluish crystals of barite across the top of a deep translucent purple cubic crystal fluorite matrix. This is complete all around and in very good condition. I am guessing that this was collected in the latter part of the 1980s. The high translucency of the fluorite is shown when backlit at the end of the video.
