Description

Solid baryte drusy of yellow crystals, mostly transparent, well developed on classic Clara pinkish spatic baryte. Crystals show the classic spear shape, with good transparency on the tips in most cases. The highlight is given by the depicted detail, an aggregate of three parallel crystals which form a faden-like group with very good lustre.
Self collected in 2008 during my first trip at the Clara pay-per-dig site (Mineralienhalde). While preparing it, on the same matrix I did also find small Ba-pharmacosiderite cubes.
