Description

Rare baryte gangue matrix lined with gossan featuring some tiny grey pearlaceous aggregates of chlorargyrite. The specimen has deep historical significance, given the two old labels it comes associated with, testifying - my guess - an over 100+ years old age of the specimen. 

The specimen comes from the old stock of the famous Indergand family, renowned Swiss strahlers and collectors who for generations acquired mineral collections. I was able to obtain this specimen along with a selection of very old material. This specimen is one of the coolest ones of the lot, and I got it in the early 2010s.
