Description

Huge baryte from Baia Sprie, Romania.

I think the yellow cover comes from limonite otherwise the baryte is white/transparent. On and between the numerous triangle-looking baryte you can find a lot of other minerals like stibnite.

The longest sides of the baryte sheets are up to 4 cm with a thickness of up to 1 cm. Giving the specimen a three-dimensional impression.

The whole specimen is in a good condition.
