Condition
No recorded repairs
Dark chocolate-brown tabular Baryte crystals to over 2 cm on edge form a very small cabinet-sized aggregate of intergrown crystals. Their style is iconic Magma mine, a polymetallic, but predominantly copper mine in Pinal County, which reached a depth of 4,800 feet - the deepest in Arizona. The Baryte was reportedly discovered during the early 1980s on the 3,400 foot level. In fine overall condition, these crystals are not as gemmy as the absolute finest from Magma mine, but are in very good condition for a larger grouping and the presence of smaller crystals dotted over the surface of the larger tabular crystals adds character.
