Barite with epitaxial crystals
Aurangabad
Maharashtra, India
6.2 x 1.5 x .7 CM (cabinet)
price: $290


A remarkable Barite from any place but especial exotic being from India. The core of this piece is a single elongated Barite prism that has been overgrown with oriented clear Barites in perfect alignment. In fine undamaged condition, this was from a small recent find. The Barites from this find have been called "scepters" but they seem to be more complex than that and more an epitaxial chain habit.
