Product Description

Museum piece and masterpiece of the French mineralogical heritage. Discover this monumental specimen of Barytine directly from the famous and historic mine of Maine in Cordesse, near Autun in France. This museum-sized piece of 4.57 kg impresses with its architectural power. It features a spectacular three-dimensional tangle of large tabular crystals with thick, geometric blades. The mineral displays a honey-yellow to amber-yellow color with remarkable vivacity and homogeneity. The summit ridges reveal a splendid translucency, offering intense glassy reflections under lighting. A great French classic of exceptional scale, which has become impossible to find in such a size since the permanent closure of the site.
