Barite (old classic) (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

An antique specimen of Barite from the famous Pribram region.

This piece is fillsed with fairly sharp 7 mm, blocky, silvery colored crystals that are translucent when backlit on a thin slab of matrix. A very hard to find old time specimen that comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
