Classic Elmwood, Tennessee barite
ball with
fluorite. 15 X 20 cm.
From Mary West in Tennesse. Mary has
a fantastic
collection of Elmwood material. Alas, she'll have little for sale in
the
coming years, as the mines there shut down at the beginning of 2003.

Unbelievable green barite (yes, the color you see is real!) with chrysocolla. Provided to me by my friend Jacques Legat, this was collected by the late J.M Pendeville from Mine de Shangulowe, Zaire in the early 1990's. No further such specimens have been seen. |

As good as it gets! Barite with bright orange wuflenite from Morocco. The pale peach-colored balls of barite blades are perfect. From Seguei Vassilev in Prague, Czechoslovakia, via his EBay auctions. |
