Description

Yellowish baryte specimen from Sadek mine, Pribram. The crystals are mostly yellow and transparent, featuring red inclusions (iron oxides?) which give them a very peculiar taint. The lustre is good on most crystals, although the main crystals are not complete.
This is the largest specimen I have ever handled from this mine, and it is definitely a sizeable and uncommon oldtimer.

Former collection Burger (Switzerland). Pre-1950s specimen, relabeled in modern times.
