Product Description

This specimen showcases the barytine native to the historic mining sector of Thann-Guebwiller, in the Haut-Rhin, Alsace. The piece is distinguished by a remarkable crystalline grouping displaying the typical rooster crest facies. Its many tabular crystals develop into interlocking strips, offering a pronounced relief and a very graphic structure that ideally captures light. Featuring a soft cream-to-salmon hue, the mineral rests on its massive and stable original base, perfect for immediate presentation. A great regional classic for collectors of French systematics and mineralogy.
