Item Description
A beautiful and showy specimen from this copper mine in western Poland. This piece is a polished cross-section of plumose-esque aggregates of cream to tan colored Baryte. When the pieces are found, they can be somewhat non-descript and "jumbled", but when they are cut and polished, they reveal and a beautiful form internally. It's almost like cracking open a geode, as every one will yield a slightly different formation. Additionally, the lighter colored Baryte will actually fluoresce a bright whitish-green color under SW UV light. Very cool, and unlike anything I can remember seeing from any locality.
