Baryte from the Pohla-Tellerhauser Mine, Saxony, Germany, measuring 100 × 60 × 52 mm and weighing 340 grams.
The Pohla-Tellerhauser Mine lies within Saxony's Erzgebirge, the Ore Mountains, a historic hydrothermal vein district long worked for fluorite and base metals, with Baryte forming as a common gangue mineral within the same vein systems. The Erzgebirge's veins have been studied and collected from for centuries, and Baryte from a named working like Pohla-Tellerhauser carries the kind of documented locality detail that this long mining history makes possible.
This piece comes from the David Vince Collection. A German Erzgebirge Baryte like this one is a solid international reference piece alongside the more Australian-focused specimens in this release, useful for anyone comparing vein Baryte across classic European and Australian localities.
