Description

An elegant group consisting of a main tabular baryte crystal (with a parallel one right in the back) intimately associated to an 'urchin' of white quartz crystals. Baryte is in good conditions, with partial corrosion surfaces which are usually attributed to pre-existing iron oxides. 

A cute and representative specimen from this legendary mining area in Sardinia!
