Barite on Quartz
Jinkouhe town, Ebian
Sichuan Province, China
6.8 x 4.5 CM (small cabinet/ large miniature)
price: $330
Winter 2016-17
Nice form and composition with a pleasing color contrast. The Jinkouhe locality in Ebian has produced tons of Barite some well-crystallized. Usually this Barite is pure white sitting on white Quartz with weak esthetics and little contrast. A few rare colored pieces have been found and this is a good one. A rich yellow zone in the Barite makes a fine contrast to the gemmy clear Quartz crystals. The main Quartz are undamaged but the matrix has some small broken stubs that are not very noticeable. The Barite is complete and grown around the Quartz. It sits and displays well. There is minor edge rub on the Barite and contacts on the back, but overall a very cute and esthetic arrangement.
