The Clara mine is important locality for those who micro minerals and rare species. It is also known to have produced a number of baryte and fluorite specimens of macro size and good quality. The area has been mined since 1726 and I believe it is the only currently producing mine in the Black Forest. (https://www.mindat.org/loc-1782.html). If you have been looking for a nice quality baryte from this classic locality in Germany this is certainly a reasonably priced opportunity.
