Yes, it is too large, but I own a specimen (not barite but pyrite) that weighs 3.9 kg, and I'm happy with it. | |

What beautiful showcases and room decorations. I'm full of envy. You and your family must be proud of them. And they're only the German specimens.
Congratulations! |

It is a real piece of Nature's art. But at the same time, believe it or not, they are MnO2 (not idiomorphic) crystals, with some impurities. It is very impressive, even for non-mineral collectors. | |

It seems to be a great specimen, but I fear the picture does not reflect it. Try to repeat it. I'm sure you are able to get a much better photo (just with a little patience). | |
