Baryte & Galena

ex Dr. F. Krantz, Bonn, GER
Classic Locality

Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Stříbro, Tachov District, Plzeň, Plzeň Region, Czech Republic
Class: 
Crystals on Matrix
Size Range: 
Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
6.3 × 3.8 × 3.8 cm
Description

From the Krantz stock comes this interesting specimen with transparent to translucent chisel-like colourless to whiteish crystals with probably orthorhombic symmetry. The specimen is labeled cerussite. The matrix would be in favour as it is a naturally corroded galena as it is common at that locality. I would ID it as baryte though (no acid response, and the habit would be untypical for Stribro).
