Description

An excellent specimen from this most relevant classic locality. Oberzeiring is the very best locality for Baryte in entire Austria. The mining area is non-productive and no new material came out since decades, so all we have is a very low number of specimen from old discoveries. Usually you can get large, not really well formed plates or damaged broken pieces. A well formed, aesthetic hand-sized specimen in fine condition like the particular one, is really exceptional. The piece is well formed with aesthetic exposed groups at the top and even developed as floater. No significant damages to report and very showy in various positions.
