Item Description
Barite specimens are extremely rare from this ancient Pb-Zn mininig district. Sparkly, oxide-covered, rosettes of bladed, snow-white, barite cover this showy large plate. There are typical for the locale, highly modified calcite scalenohedrons on the back of the plate. The older partial label on the back confirms the locality. Rare and desirable combination material from this historic district, closed since 1954. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
