Gemmy golden Barite crystals from olds finds at Jinkouhe. The crystals are transparent with a well saturated golden yellow color, and are in great condition with scuffing, contact on just of a few of the very many (a hundred?). Recently released from a private collection and valued at $400 (and I've seen these selling for higher).
