The barite crystals display a characteristic honey-yellow coloration and exhibit visible internal zoning, creating a layered appearance across the crystal faces. This stepped development gives the specimen a strong structural character and highlights the crystallographic form.
The crystals are arranged in a compact grouping on a contrasting dolomite matrix, providing a natural base and enhancing the overall composition. The interplay between crystal geometry and matrix results in a balanced and visually coherent piece.
Condition is well preserved overall, with minor natural contact consistent with material from this locality.
Specimens showing this type of clearly expressed growth structure are of interest to collectors focusing on crystal form and development within thumbnail size.
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.
