BARITE Frizington, Cumberland, England

BARITE, Frizington, Cumberland, England.  The barite of a pale, geenish-grey color is superbly crystallized on a small matrix of hematite. It retains an old “Dr. A.E. Foote Philadelphia” and is, most likely, part of the large collection of English minerals that Foote brought to the United States in 1891.  This one found its way back to the United Kingdom and became part of the A K Borland collection. On an Alec Madoff base.  4-1/2x3-1/2x2-1/4.  $3,000.
