Description from the seller

Magnificent quartz and baryte druzy from China, belonging to an antique Natura Kucera collection and retaining its original numbered tag (40888), a detail especially appreciated by collectors who value traceability and the history of the pieces.

The specimen presents a spectacular aggregation of prismatic quartz crystals of excellent transparency and vitreous luster, among which tabular barite crystals of delicate ivory-white tones grow. The combination of the two species creates a three‑dimensional composition of great beauty, with numerous complete crystals oriented in different directions that add depth and dynamism to the piece.

The high crystallization quality, the abundance of visible terminations, and the natural balance between quartz and barite stand out in particular, features that make this specimen an excellent display piece for any mineral collection.

It comes from an old Natura Kucera collection, preserving its original label, which increases its historical and collecting interest.
