Baryte
Book Cliffs area, Grand Junction, Mesa County, Colorado, USA
7.8 x 4.0 x 3.0 cm. An impressive, very large for the area, complete-all-around baryte crystal from the Book Cliffs of Colorado. The glassy, transparent to translucent, light gray crystal has a classic, sharp, chisel termination. Nearly pristine. A fine, very large, example of the species and locale from the Schlichter Collection.
