Description

Very interesting group of blue baryte crystals on a quartz and goethite matrix from the famous San Timomeo mine, also called Humbolt. A characteristic of this mine that can be perfectly seen in this piece is that the edges of the crystals always tend to appear rounded due to a superficial dissolution of the crystals.
