Summary

Description
English: Baryte, Fluorite
Locality: Moscona Mine, Solís, Llanera, Villabona mining area, Asturias, Spain (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 17 x 17 x 9 cm
Barite on Fluorite
The Asturias localities are best-known for fluorites, but also produced wonderful barites; you often see them in association with one another, though the fluorites are usually the "star". However, here, on this very large specimen, it is beautiful blue-grey barites in the starring role, on a field of amber fluorites. The barites are attractively isolated in rows and fansrays on the fluorites rather than massed together. They measure to 3.5 cm tip-to-tip. This is an older specimen that came out of the Rolf Wein Collection of Germany, which contained a lot of European classics in addition to a concentration in Alpine specimens. Big, showy and spectacular for what it is.
