Description

For Lavrion, this is the best quality baryte you can get. It has sharp, gemmy and lustrous crystals that form beautiful groups. They even have a very slight bluish hue to them but I would call them white to colorless to be safe. This is a wonderful example of those, acquired many years ago from a northern Greek dealer.
