Item Description

Classic and sculptural old-time small cabinet barite from the historic Ag-polymetallic mine at Felsobanya. The mine operated continuously from the 1300s until 2006 (mindat). Stout glassy, translucent spearpoint prisms, to 6.2 x 6.0 x 1.7 cm, dramatically accented by color-zoning are very aesthetically intergrown on this very showy and excellent 360-degree piece. From a 19th century Zurich collection. This impressive piece is a dead-ringer for classic Cumbria, England barytes and is MUCH rarer! Simply an outstanding old-time Romanian barite.
