This large miniature specimen consists of a base of orange to pinkish bladed Baryte upon which are clustered aggregates (to about 7 mm across) of pinkish metallic Nickeline crystals. Nickeline crystals are rare on a world scale and although these are small, there are many covering this specimen. Eisleben in the Mansfeld Basin, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany is one of the classic places for crystallized Nickeline and this is a really rich example. From the superb collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
