This piece is characterized by a single, well-formed tabular barite crystal displaying classic stepped growth and sharp geometric edges. The crystal shows a soft golden to honey coloration with good translucency, allowing subtle internal structures and zoning to be appreciated.
The composition is minimalistic, placing full emphasis on the crystal’s form and structure. Its clean presentation and balanced proportions make it an excellent example of the characteristic barite habit from this locality.
A fine choice for collectors who appreciate clarity of form and crystallographic expression.
Location: Mina Llata, Cerro Huarihuayín, Miraflores, Huánuco
Material from Cerro Huarihuayín has appeared on the market only intermittently, and well-preserved miniature examples are not consistently available. As such, specimens from this locality are of particular interest to collectors focused on Peruvian occurrences.
