Blue Barite bladed crystals in rosette arrangements on yellow Calcite. Ex. Larry White collection, the Barite is in fine condition, The yellow Calcite matrix is formed of cleaved crystals and makes a nice contrast to the blue Barite. Larry's collection ledger states he obtained this in 1973 from the Adamas dealership. This sort of Barite is now very rarely seen from the Cave-in-Rock locality and is a nice addition to the more common Fluorites for which this zone is famed.
