A REALLY fine specimen of this old classic material, now almost never seen for sale...this one features a thick blanket of chocolatey-brown Sphaerosiderite almost completely draping over the original thin blades of clear Baryte. I have seen just a few of these for sale in the last ten years, and this is one of the most aesthetic and displayable of them. You will not see anything like it from anywhere else, to my knowledge - its just a freak occurrence unique to this locality. 5.8 x 5.2 x 3.7 cm
