Description

A very uncommon combination - baryte from the locality represents an outstanding rarity. Baryte developed very light roses, the contrast to violet amethyste and dark green seladonite is really very eye-catching! The specimen is developed as floater and looks great in each angle. More tri-dimensional in person. No significant damages to report.
