Description

Chisel-shaped baryte crystals of white colour, arranged in spiky divergent clusters. In very good condition. An excellent representative specimen of this classic fluorite locality, associated to some grey galena in the matrix. Some areas are still coated by a thin layer of iron hydr(oxides), and I prefer to keep it like that, but it could be easily removed if desired.

Acquired in the early 1980’s by Ludo Van Goethem.
