Mineral: Baryte
Locality: Clara Mine, Rankach Valley, Oberwolfach, Wolfach, Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Dimensions: 14 x 7 x 6 cm

Description: Pointed chisel-shaped crystals showing some interesting phantoms. Part of these phantoms is formed by the usual yellow zoning that you see more often in baryte from Grube Clara. However, in this case the crystals partially have inclusions of coarser brown grains, similar to the matrix on which the crystals have grown.
