Mineral: Baryte, Celadonite
Locality: Jalna District, Maharashtra, India
Dimensions: 4,0 x 3,3 cm

Description: Miniature specimen of parallel stacked, dark green baryte crystals with very complex terminations, extremely lustrous and complete all around. The colour comes from inclusions of celadonite, similar to some specimens of heulandite and apophyllite. As far as I've been able to track down, only 3 specimens of these were ever discovered.
