Species: Barite on Fluorite

Locality: Xiefang mine, Ruijin County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China

Very impressive, huge specimen of lustrous, sharp golden baryte crystals to 4 cm. on purple botryoidal fluorite matrix from a recent find at the well-known Xiefang mine, Ruijin County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China. This is one of the top pieces (if not the best!) from the find- very large, very 3-dimensional, and in amazing condition, especially considering the sizes. A stunning specimen that would attract attention in any display case. Mark Cross photo.
