Here is a picture of some Colorado Barite we found while researching for the rally.
Colorado has several locations for Barite. It comes in several colors from clear, milky white, blues and greens.

We went back looking for more Barite locations this weekend and today I found a few small prismatic crystals on the surface. One of them is bi-color although the colors are pale. Other broken pieces would suggest there is a good chance for nice bi-color crystals with solid color and form at this spot. The Barite trend here seems to cover a large area. We are finding Barite in different forms. Prismatic, tabular, rosettes and massive stuff is forming wherever there is enough room in thin cracks and holes and tubes shapes left behind from old root systems. Sometimes found with or on nice clear Calcite crystals.

QUOTE (James and Cyndi @ Feb 14 2016, 08:47 PM) Sweet. I've been wanting to get back out there. Is that typical of the color of the ground up that way? It's white! And desert-like. Just wondering! |
