Barite is rare from Tsumeb, especially in nice golden crytsals such as this. The crystals are thick tabular to 15 x 7mm. This specimen sits well on the long side and virtually damage free. A detachment point along side one crystal is evident but does not distract from the overall beauty.Very rare on the market if not impossible to find.
