From a very limited find in the Daye Copper Mine, this specimen features beautiful sprays of peachy-orange to creamy white Baryte (Barite) on a hosting matrix.  Aesthetically tinted with red Hematite adding supreme color, lustre and contrast to the piece.  It is exceedingly lustrous and is very attractive in person!  Iridescent Chalcopyrite crystals are embedded in the matrix, adding real pizzazz to the piece, outstanding!  All in all, it’s an excellent and unusual specimen that shows really well.  Comes with a high quality copper-wired display stand.
