The piece is centered on a single dominant tabular barite crystal, showing clear geometric form with subtle internal zoning and soft honey coloration. The crystal is well exposed on matrix, creating a balanced and natural presentation with good three-dimensional presence.

The surfaces display a consistent, gently lustrous finish, while the internal structure adds depth and visual interest across the crystal faces. The surrounding matrix provides contrast and stability without distracting from the main crystal.

With its combination of size, form, and clarity, this specimen represents a strong 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.
