specimen number:
2312212
location:
Roata Mine, Cavnic, Maramures Co., Romania
description: A fine colorless to slightly bluish cluster of bladed barite crystals. In super condition and quite aesthetic. Classic material for the species and locality. The Roata mine, located within the historic Cavnic mining district in Maramures County, Romania, has a rich extraction history dating back to medieval times and earlier. Geologically, the deposit is situated in the Inner Carpathians and is part of a complex Neogene calc-alkaline volcanic chain. The ore bodies consist of epithermal polymetallic vein systems formed by hydrothermal activity, yielding significant reserves of lead, zinc, copper, gold, and silver, alongside notable aesthetic mineral specimens including quartz, barite, and rhodochrosite.
