Creedite Barite often including scale and other

often including scale and other soft tissue traces against a high contrast laminated limestone slab

Fluorite crystals are well shaped

with color intensity usually deepest at the termination or tip of each crystal

this piece consists of beautifully colored cluster of purple octohedral fluorite on a thick base of candle quartz - so named for the appearance of wax dripping down a candle down the crystal face

Creedite Barite often including scale and otherKnown for its beautiful prismatic crystals, often radiating outward from a central axis, Creedite is named for the place of its initial discovery, the Creede Quadrangle in Colorado. Creedite is a rare mineral in the hydoxylhalide group and is often formed from the intense oxidation of fluorite formations. Only known from a relatively small number of formations worldwide, Creedite is sought after for its unique fine crystalline structure.
