Summary

Description
English: Baryte
Locality: Cheshire, New Haven County, Connecticut, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 23.5 x 14.1 x 3.3 cm
Barite
This is one of the largest Cheshire barites I have personally seen in anything resembling good form, to survive from the mid to late 1800s era of mining here. Apparently the deposit was quite rich in barite, but I cannot imagine based on the survivors I have seen that such a large piece as this was very common in good form. And, remarkably, it IS largely intact, and has made it through unrepaired. There is some edge wear, of course, along the left edge and at the rear of the termination - but it displays very well nonetheless and I think in context those bruises are minor. The right side is naturally rough, due to contacted faces which seem to be terminated and not broken. To emphasize that fact, I have not cleaned the piece and in fact it still has original pocket clay material adhering to that side to prove there are no clean breaks during or after mining. It really seems microcrystallized or contacted but terminated, all around - even on the bottom. A historic, remarkable specimen of barite from one of the early USA's more important mining locales!
