This piece features a well-developed tabular barite crystal with a classic plate-like form, displaying attractive stepped growth and subtle internal zoning. The crystal shows a warm champagne tone with good translucency, allowing light to reveal its internal structure and delicate textures.
Additional smaller crystals create a layered composition, adding depth and visual interest without overwhelming the clean geometry of the main crystal. The natural matrix provides contrast and stability to the specimen.
A balanced and elegant piece that combines crystallographic clarity with gentle aesthetic appeal.
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.
