Description

This is a major specimen from this famous find! Baryte from this locality is probably the only representatives from the species that are included by realgar. The color intensity, the concentration of red in the center and the white on the periphery and the overall aesthetics really put this piece apart from the rest! The piece has no area of damage, it's contacted on the back and was successfully trimmed out of a larger damaged and less aesthetic piece, out from an old German collection. It's very hard to find good ones in the market due to the high demand and the fragility of the material!
