  • Good size for thumbnail (18 g = above average mass)

  • Stable, compact composition

The piece is defined by a well-formed tabular barite crystal showing clear geometric structure with subtle internal zoning and inclusions that add depth and character. The crystal exhibits a soft honey-brown tone, with surfaces ranging from gently lustrous to lightly textured.

Secondary crystal development on the reverse and base enhances the mineralogical interest, giving the specimen a more complex and three-dimensional structure than typical single-crystal thumbnails.

The overall composition is compact and stable, making it a strong example of structurally expressive barite from this locality.

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.
