Description
Here we have a great Pöhla Baryte and when one says the terms "golden Baryte" the collector can think of several localities, but these robust, sharp, chisel-shaped crystals from this old, important Silver mine have always been the historic standard to which others are compared. This well-trimmed miniature sized specimen features a fine cluster to 3,0 cm on edge, nicely perched on a crystalline Quartz matrix. The specimen displays 360 degrees, with the gemmy and lustrous crystals in very good condition. They were collected on and off over the Cold War years and stashed. After a brief flood to the western market when the Wall fell, they dried up. Definitely a highly aesthetic specimen in splendend condition.
