Barite, Pack Rat Mine, Carbon County, Montana

 

Available
 00690  Barite, Pack Rat Mine, Carbon County, Montana.   This piece is one of my favorites from the mine, and has more or less been in my personal collection.  I have offered for sale a few times, but never put much effort into it.  If it sells fine, if not I am happy to keep it.  This is one of the largest pieces ever produced from the mine, I should know, I collected just about all of them.  Unlike many of the pieces from the mine, this piece has more depth.  The barite rosettes lie scattered about in a pleasing arrangement with two of the main barite groups in the upper center.  They are composed of crystals in the 6cm range with numerous smaller groups flanking them.  This piece displays well and has more luster than most pieces from the mine.  No noticeable damage. Measures 30x23x10cm  $1200.00   Email Chris@christuckerminerals.com to order.
