Description

Piece of massive white baryte, with some cleavage faces and brown iron staining.

From old Dr. Krantz stock, comes with antique J. Sasamoto label. Jiro Sasamoto was a famous Japanese mineralogist in the 1800's. T. Wada "Minerals of Japan" refers to Dr. Krantz aquiring a number of Japanese minerals from him. Unfortunately there is no more information available about this scientist, not even at the Krantz company itself. These old labels are very rare; Japan was a closed country at that time and there were not nearly as many mineralogical collections as in Europe.
