Barite with Fluorite (2069)

specimen number:
8811535

location:
Spielmann vineyard, Bergheim, Haut-Rhin, France

description:
Colorless bladed crystals of barite measuring to 3.0 cm in size on matrix with small crystals of purple fluorite. Very slight damage present. I think a neat locality example, this must be the first specimen I have ever handled that was actually collected in a vineyard. I would guess that collecting at this locality can be very fun. Said to have been collected in 1994.
