Description

Rich druzy populated by over two dozens centimetric honey yellow baryte crystals. Baryte is very lustrous, well developed, and most core crystals show an exceptional gemminess. Minimal preipheral bruises, the crystals are overall in fine conditions.

A good, representative specimen from the locality, with a rarely observed crystal quality. Former collection Gatti (Parma, I), one of the late members of the Gruppo Mineralogico Parmense, one of the oldest mineralogical club of Italy. The specimen is probably dated back to the 70s-80s, when the collection of such specimens was prolific.
