An exceptional and very rare cabinet pseudomorph specimen from the well-known Julcani Mine of Peru. Sparkly milky quartz crystals with transparent tips have pseudomorphed a striking parallel-growth cluster of large, sharp, tabular baryte crystals. The largest pseudomorph is about 7.0 cm. This piece is essentially pristine. Specimens of this quality date to the 1970s or early 80s. Ex. Richard Hauck Quartz Collection.
