This is a NICE SMALL SPECIMEN of a barite crystal cluster. This specimen was mined at the Paga Mine in Emerson (a community near Cartersville) in the 1990's. These choice specimens now bear Dixie Euhedrals labels and have re-entered the market some 30 years later. The lower part of the specimen has light blue color and the upper portion is tan-colored due to inclusions. There are phantoms and phantom lines in the crystals. One side is almost completely tan due to inclusions and it is that side that was facing the stream of hydrothermal solution that the crystals were growing in.

The resulting barite mud is so heavy that it is used in mining and is pumped into drill holes during the drilling process to force debris out so that the drill bits don't get stuck! The baroid drilling mud is so heavy that the rock powder and debris "floats" up and out in the mud. This is a SMALL specimen shown with big pictures.

Use the shopping cart and send only ONE PAYMENT and I will give you a rebate of $2 per crystal. Since sending only one payment reduces my workload and expenses and eliminates having to manually enter data and eliminates the risk of me forgetting to manually enter tracking and thereby losing discounts and having decreased search result rankings, and since sending several payments does not do all of that wonderful stuff and doubles my work and gives me a tension headache, I can only offer this if you send only one payment.Isn't free shipping grand!??!
