Diamond in the Rough

The base is Barite with a large Calcite crystal.  Too bad it's not a Diamond in the Rough!  This stone chunk was mined in a Tennessee mine where combinations of minerals are found.  While the miners extract their designated minerals these pockets of jewels are brought up too.  Combinations of minerals growing together are unusual and bring high prices.  I paired this rare rock with Muhly Grass,  Quartz chips, and Magnesite  pendants.

Approximate Size: 9 X 9 X 3 inches
