Mineral: Baryte, Chalcopyrite
Locality: Dreislar Mine, Dreislar, Winterberg, Sauerland, North Rhine-Westphalia/Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
Dimensions: 7,5 x 4 x 2 cm

Description: Relatively large, wafer-thin freestanding blade of baryte. Small golden chalcopyrite crystals are scattered across its surface, with a few smaller baryte blades along the edges. Quite an unusual specimen compared with the instantly recognisable specimens that are normally seen from this classic locality.
