Dreamchaser Claim Baryte specimens, page 2

All specimens listed on this page are also Barytes from the
Dreamchaser Claim, Lane County, Oregon, USA

Here is another of the druzy plates which are very limited in number. This miniature size specimen has nice luster and several larger crystals on its front. The druzys wrap over one side and cover about 1/3 of the rear, and the rest of it has some larger barytes secluded in an area of matrix. This specimen measures approx. 4.4 x 3.1 x 1.2 cm. Specimen 12-249

This single, glassy baryte crystal is one of the "3 Kings" found during the 2012 work at the claim and came from the Dixie Belle Zone. Has some nice gemmy areas, and I'm sure the whole crystal would be nearly transparent if not for the interior zoning and inclusions. This specimen has great luster on its main face, but the top and sides are matted. The top rear of the crystal does have some damage from it's contact with the matrix, but the front, top, and sides are impeccable. This crystal measures 2.1 x .9 x 1.9 cm. Specimen 12-251
SOLD

This specimen is another of the "3 Kings" found during this (the 2012) mining season in the Dixie Belle Zone. This one is absolutely fantastic. Great luster, interesting zoning, the rear is somewhat (for a lack of better words) elestial and has filled in with a second generation of tiny barytes. The tops and sides of the specimen are slightly matted, but its front and rear face have great luster. Measuring in at approx. 2.8 x 1.2 x 2.1 cm. Specimen 12-252

Here is a nice cluster of golden barytes with some secondary preferential growth filling in between the crystals. This was found as a floater and the bottom has partially healed. This miniature size cluster measures in at approx. 4 x 2.9 x 1.2 cm. Specimen 12-253

I'm going to step out on a ledge with the description of this specimen, and start off by calling it twinned. The main two crystals are not simply grown against each other. The fronts have a nice secondary generation of smaller barytes as well as a slight preferential coating. The tips on the main two crystals have tried to revert to a "chisel tip" termination as well, making this a very unique specimen from the claim. The crystals are also translucent and this becomes evident when backlit. This aesthetic specimen measures in at approx. 4.2 x 2.1 x 2.8 cm. Specimen 12-254
SOLD

A nice single golden baryte crystal with a second generation of growth on the front, and a clean rear. Decent luster on this piece. Measures in at approx. 3.3 x 1.6 x 1.9 cm. Specimen 12-255
$20

Another nice single baryte. Has a very slight preferential growth on the backside. Has prominent beveled edges, and one side termination has tried to revert to the "chisel tip" style. This crystal is translucent when backlit. Measures approx. 3.1 x 1 x 2.7 cm. Specimen 12-256
$20

This is a historic specimen from the day of the first major find during my original prospecting at the claim. Found on Dec. 15, 2010, this specimen was from the Morning Dew pocket. It has a slight luster and some preferential coating between the crystals. Has one tiny ding on the top edge of the main crystal. Measuring in at approx. 9.5 x 3.5 x 3.4 cm.
Specimen 12-274

This cluster has a heavy layer of secondary preferential growth and still has some decent luster to it's main crystals. Measuring in at 4.8 x 3.3 x 1.8 cm. Specimen 12-273
$20

This big floater crystal came out of the depths of the Humdinger Pocket, but does unfortunately have some minor damage here and there, but nothing so major it detracts from the overall aesthetics. The secondary generation of growth is considerably larger than you normally see, and there is a slight layer of preferential growth in between them. Measuring in at approx. 4.7 x 2.9 x 3.9 cm. Specimen 12-262
$75*

This miniature size cluster could use a slight trim if one has the capabilities, but overall has crystals ranging in size from druzy up to a normal small size. The larger crystals are of good quality and have a decent luster. Measuring in at 5.5 x 3.5 x 2.1 cm. Specimen 12-270
$17

This nice cluster of barytes has some preferential growth between the crystals. The largest crystal steals the show, as it displays great internal zoning and is nice and translucent. The specimen measures in at approx. 6 x 2.6 x 2.6 cm and the largest crystal is about 1.9 cm on edge. Specimen 12-271
$30

This small cabinet sized cluster of larger crystals is quite hefty. It has good luster for the larger crystals from this site and the fronts have a nice second generation of growth. This is piece that has some old damage on the top crystal, but I believe it may clean up well with a watergun (I do not yet own one). The specimen measures in at approx. 6.9 x 3.8 x 3 cm.
Specimen 12-261
$70

This large single crystal cleaved from it's matrix, but is a nice piece from the claim. It has some small crystals of a second generation on its face, good luster, and the interior is quite gemmy (when looking into it from the bottom). There is one small chipped/cleaved area which can be seen in photo 3. This specimen measures in at approx. 4.8 x 2 x 1.5 cm.
Specimen 12-259

This cluster has a heavy preferential coating and honestly it isn't perfect, but I am trying to upload pieces for every type of collector in all value ranges. This specimen is priced right due to it's imperfections. Specimen 12-269
$17

Another nice large single crystal with the usual second generation of crystals on its face. This crystal does have good luster, as many of the larger crystals do not hold up well in that department. This specimen measures in at approx. 5 x 1.9 x 2.1 cm. Specimen 12-266
$35*

This is an interesting cluster of barytes from the claim. The crystals have somehow become included with some of the preferential coating! Not many of this type of specimen have been recovered. There are some druzy crystals and all have pretty decent luster. There is one small damaged spot on the specimen which is more prominently seen in photo 1. This specimen measures approx. 5.3 x 2.7 x 1.9 cm. Specimen 12-267
