Description

This is an old-timed specimen of reddish, partially transparent blades of baryte, accompanied by less and tiny cinnabar. The baryte is sharp edged and has bevelled faces. Although the specimen is not perfect, it is a good opportunity to get a piece from this locality which is flooded since decades.
