Barite for sale!
Besides this beautiful barite rose, the Wheaton College Rock Sale will be selling bladed white barite (associated with quartz geode-type crystals), and South Dakota golden barite.
Few rock shops anywhere have the great abundance and variety of items that will be for sale at Wheaton College. Prices will begin at 25c and range up from 50c, $1, $2, $5, $10 to some higher priced, high-quality items. Everything will be only a fraction of what it would cost online or in a store from a retail dealer. We have something for everyone. All rock types, most major fossil groups, mineral groups, crystals and gem materials, geological microscopes and tools, and maps of all sorts will be uniquely offered. If you have anything particular of interest, contact us and see if it will be included. Stay tuned for more detail on certain materials.
The W.C. Geo. dept. needs to get rid of a lot of excess rock and mineral samples which have accumulated over the decades. Come and buy amazing specimens to enhance your collection (or start your collection)! The sale will take place on Saturday, September 29, 2012, at Wheaton College.
