Item Description

Baryte occurs very rarely at Tsumeb and only from the old, upper oxidation zones within a few hundred meters of the surface. This is a fine miniature specimen consisting of nearly a dozen, milk chocolate-brown, moderately lustrous crystals in an attractive divergent group. The tabular crystals are from 1 to 3.5 cm in size and have a spear point shape. A very good example of this very uncommon mineral at Tsumeb, even though it's a relatively common mineral worldwide. This specimen was memorable! It is from the miniature drawers and rare species suite of the original (first, and larger) Sussman Tsumeb collection, part of which I bought in Chicago from them in the early 2000s, and sold to Erika Pohl through the Van Scriver family at that time.
