The single time we have encountered a true faceted French Barite to offer. And a very fine quality at that - large, clean and well cut. There is a very similar (though smaller!) stone inventoried in the Gubelin collection at GIA. Perhaps obtainable when mining was active, this is quite rare as a locality stone in today’s market.
