Baryte

This chisel-terminated baryte comes from the famous Niobec Mine in Quebec.  It's a sharp, thick, very nearly pristine, translucent and lustrous crystal. The orange-brown crystal has excellent beveled edges, is doubly terminated and with super trivial edge-wear. The crystal also has a peppering of oxidized pyrite microcrystals. This is a very fine, highly representative older specimen from a classic locale.
