Wow! This is one of the finest Barytes ever found at Pohla, and is by far the best and largest that we have seen. The Baryte has a gorgeously warm honey-amber colour that these specimens are famed for, with very bright lustre. The doubly terminated sharply formed crystal rests on the matrix and measures a whopping 17.5cm in length. The Pohla Mine was mined from 1950 up until the end of the 1990s mainly for Uranium (Pitchblende), also with the aim to mine Cassiterite and Scheelite although this never occurred. Baryte was found from the beginning but as massive colourless/grey material, and it was 1975-76 that the fabulous golden Barytes were discovered.
