Description

Matrix with a nice coverage of red/brown blocky baryte crystals associated with a few white calcite crystals. Obtained by Harry Foy back in 1981 and described only as coming from Sardinia. Research suggests the specimen may be from the Silius region of the island, however at this stage, that cannot be confirmed. A nice old specimen from the collection of one of Irelands most important mineral collectors.
