A classic combination of gemmy golden bladed Baryte crystals upon a bed of cream coloured platy Calcite from the late 1990s finds at Meikle mine in Elko Co., Nevada. Rising vertically up from a thin flat bed of crystallized Calcite the main golden Baryte crystal reaches over 4 cm in length and is accompanied by a second smaller crystal, some 2 cm in length, angled slightly and just about resting against the first. Both crystals are in good condition with just the very slightest of wear along the top edge of the main crystal, and the larger crystal has a more opaque frosted zone at one end. Otherwise, both are very gemmy golden with good transparency and bright internal reflections. Ex Martin Kershaw Collection, this is a really nice smaller display piece from this famous American Baryte find.
