Baryte$2,500.00

Dr Josef Clemente methodically built a remarkable mineral collection during his life, amongst which are true classics, exquisite rarities and stunningly aesthetic pieces. Golden Baryte from the P'hla-Tellerh'user mine in Saxony, Germany, is certainly a European classic and this specimen is a perfect example for anyone on the look-out. Although we know this mine for its world-class Baryte, it was a uranium mine, working a folded series of Cambrian-Ordovician schists with included layers of skarn-affected various rock-types. This magnificent cabinet specimen has a sturdy matrix plate of iron-stained cryptocrystalline Quartz almost totally encrusted with superb Baryte crystals varying in size from millimetres to over 4 cm and from gemmy transparent to opaque. However, the transparent and translucent crystals dominate the specimen, giving it a gemmy and luxurious appeal. The Baryte could readily be described as golden, but is in fact a rich, slightly burnt apricot barley sugar, quite stunning and delicious. The crystals, no matter what size, are nicely terminated and all have a brilliant glassy lustre. This is a gorgeous Baryte from this famous mine in Saxony and is from the Dr Josef Clemente Collection of southern Germany.
