Description

Lustrous, translucent, baryte blades cover this large plate from Les Rocs quarry. The style and colour of baryte is excellent; seldom offered from this French locality.

It comes with a Robert Nowakowski label reporting “Brosso mine”, an evident misspelling for “Buxières”: barytes from the old Brosso mine are different in shape and colour.
