Greyish well developed blades of sharp baryte perched on matrix. The colour of the highly lustrous and partially transparent baryte shows a hint of blue. Very attractive are the white aragonite spheres on the baryte, what gives this great specimen more dramatic. A super-aesthetic Italian classic in very good shape.
