An uncommonly large plate of big, chisel-shaped, yellowish Baryte crystals to more than 4 cm long! The locality is a long time classic which is probably better known for its Realgars and Stibnites than its Barytes but quite a while ago big cavities covered with mud produced these wonderful and sometimes very big specimens, however they are not often offered anymore. Unfortunately my photos don't give justice how lustrous the crystals are eventhough some clay is included in some parts of the crystals. The specimen currently belongs to a private collection.
