Two lovely sprays of golden Baryte prisms on Quartz matrix, with minor Fluorite crystals. The Barytes are gemmy, have good luster, and excellent golden color - about the brightest and most golden hue you can get from this mine, which was producing specimens under the communists that were hoarded and sold when the Wall came down. Now, they are scarce on the market. The longest crystal is 2 cm long and 1.3 cm wide. There are some minor dings, but they do not detract from the fine aesthetics of this piece, and the glowing color really leaps out in a case.
