Barite
Linwood Mine, Buffalo, Scott County, Iowa, USA
32 x 31 x 21 mm
This single, blocky prismatic barite crystal from the Linwood Mine, Scott County, Iowa, presents a warm, soft yellow-gold coloration, translucent throughout with a notable increase in transparency toward the crystal's edges. The primary faces carry a vitreous luster while the remaining faces display a contrasting frosted finish that adds textural interest to the piece. The interplay between these two distinct surface qualities, set against the gentle warmth of the coloration, makes for a compelling and well-crystallized example from this classic American locality.
