Description

This is a nice speciem with white coloured crystals of Baryte up to 1 cm diameter sitting rich on Magnesite. 
A typical speciem from the Bürgl mine near Hochfilzen, Kitzbühel area, Tyrol.

Ex Herbert Schuler collection, will be delivered in a box with the typical label of Mr. Schuler.
Note the location is labeled wrong on this box, he has written that the speciem was found at Tux, Zillertal, Tyrol. But thats wrong, it is a very typical speciem for Hochfilzen that was found many years ago. The mine is now closed and the nearby opencast mine in operation, the Weißenstein mine, did not produced such speciems as in the Bürgl mine.
