Description

The specimen comes from the big 2017 find of lustrous tan-colored baryte in association with pyrite and quartz. Baryte forms in thin-bladed crystals that assemble globular clusters. Here, baryte forms a hollow epimorph over some unknown mineral that was dissolved away. Their luster of baryte is amazing. Their color ranges from pale to dark yellow, and grey when included with sulfides. The matrix consists of pyrite and white quartz crystals. The yellow mass at the base of the specimen is probably sphalerite.
