Description

I really can do a good evaluation of Romanian minerals, based on years of experience. And this Baryte is really very impressive - highly lustrous, razor sharp terminated crystal up to 84mm (exceptional dimension) across. Their color is intense yellow - nearly like honey. They formed a very tri-dimensional and impressive assemble. I would say I didn´t see more than a fist full of specimen with crystals in this dimension and quality. Hard to capture with the camera and so my promise to each collecto:t you will be surprised in a very positive way.
