The piece is centered on a well-formed tabular barite crystal displaying a warm honey-yellow tone with gentle translucency and subtle internal zoning. A secondary crystal grows in parallel, enhancing the overall structure while maintaining a clean and balanced composition.

The softly textured surfaces diffuse the light across the crystal faces, giving the specimen a calm, luminous presence. The contrasting pink dolomite matrix provides a natural and visually pleasing base, framing the barite without distraction.

Compact and harmonious, this specimen represents a particularly aesthetic example of barite from this locality in thumbnail format.

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.
