Description

Great old and rare classic from Freiberg. The huge baryte crystal shows stepped faces and snowy white color, the fluorite crystals are gemmy, razor sharp terminated and all faces are highly lustrous. A few spherical light calcite-spheres are scattered all over. Finest quality and the crsytals are in excellent condition. Although there are countless fluorite crystals you will not find any significant damage. Material from Freiberg is generally very rare and in this quality even more!
