Description

Rich drusy fully covered with lustrous, spear shaped baryte crystals colored red from realgar inclusions, a classic feature from Cavnic mine which is quite sought-after.
Crystals are well-developed and there are hundreds of them. The peripheral crystals may display minor dings and contacts from the extraction activity, as it should be expected from such a large drusy.

Very rich and in great conditions, this is absolutely display material. From the famous find a few years ago, this is among the best baryte specimens I own from the locality. Straight out of my collection, it also comes from the former Adrian collection (UK).
