Description

These barite crystals are clear with a very slight blue/gray tint.

Located in the Crater Creek Mining District that produced little, if any ore Muddy Creek has yielded some very fine barite specimens from bone white to clear to blue/gray. Most specimens were collected in the 1980's.

There is some "bruising" due to the freeze/thaw cycle at this high mountain locality. 35 grams
