Comment: The Christiane Mine near Adorf is a long-timed abandoned location. Specimens from there are rare and sought after - and this is a very good item descending from that location. The Barite are tabular as fine meat coloured rosettes, nearly spheroidal. A good and only minimal damaged German old-timer.

Minerals: Barite (BaSO₄)
