Barite

Linwood Mine, Buffalo, Scott County, Iowa, USA

9.4 x 4.7 x 3 cm

This specimen displays a complete double terminated crystal with nice luster and reflective qualities. This is part of a one time find back in June of 2020. Named  “Skunk Stripe” barite for the great fluorescent and phosphorescent quality the majority of these crystals have. Be sure to check out the video showing this great effect. These pieces are considered by many to be the best USA phosphorescent finds in the last decade.
