Description

Interesting specimen of barite and limestone matrix with fluorite and wulfenite. The fluorite is clear to light purple and is mostly coated with red hematite staining. The wulfenite is yellow and up to 1 mm in size. They are well formed with thick tabular shapes. The first 2 photos have been color adjusted and show wulfenite crystals, some embedded in a blob of clear calcite. The 3rd and 4th photos show the actual colors. The last photos, under uv long-wave light, reveal a small bit of chalcedony that fluoresces blue and the fluorite fluoresces purple. A few more wulfenite crystals are scattered in pockets around the piece. Larger images at www.mineralbrothers.com/index.php/?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=52
