Chalcopyrite on Barite (classic locale)

Item Description

Lustrous, bone-white, tabular blades of baryte beautifully accented by tiny iridescednt chalcopyrite crystals from the famous Dreislar Mine of Germany. The aesthetic, reticulated pattern of the baryte blades is very reminiscent of fine cerussites from Tsumeb or the Flux Mine. This showy specimen is very robust and impressive for the style. From a museum collection.
