Utah Agatized Barite is a fossil -
This exceptional specimen shows why
 
Utah Agatized Barites are agate nodules where silica has replaced the original barium sulfate crystal nodule. See my blog about Utah Agatized Barite: O. G. Wottafossil !!! On some samples, the barium sulfate crystal tops can't be seen at all. With this specimen, the ARE the rock. The stand out in a way that is truly unique.
 
In addition to the striking replacement of the drystal tops, this one also has some agate banding in the center. The only way to tell how much banding is there would be to cut the rock. But then you might destroy the fossil crystal tops. So you would have a choice. (I would preserve the crystal tops.)
 
Few Utah Agatized Barites can be found for sale on the web anyway. I doubt that you're ever going to see another one like this.
 
I usually have a few normal pieces listed for sale too. If you can't find one listed, or if you want something different, send me a message!
 
If you're interested in more rocks, you can save a few dollars by combining several items into the same custom order.  There will be just one shipping charge in a cost-effective USPS flat rate padded envelope. Send a message before ordering so we can set up the order. I do a lot of my business through custom orders and I love to work with people to get just the right rocks you're looking for.
