{"product_id":"barysilite","title":"BARYSILITE","description":"Barysilite despite its name does not contain barium, but was so named as an indication of its density. It is an exotic lead manganese silicate known from just a few localities worldwide, but a cluster of those are in Sweden. Harstigen mine is where its was first found, but it also occurs at the more famous Långban mining district from where this specimen comes. At very large miniature to small cabinet in size it is quite a large piece for a rare species. Comprising a dense shiny grey metallic matrix, possibly of Magnetite and perhaps with a little Galena, one surface transitions into pale and darker orange (possibly Andradite) with white blades of Barysilite both embedded and freestanding within small cavities. Associated with the white are tiny silky white acicular crystal sprays. This is complex stuff, and might well contain other extremely rare species. It is from the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 \u0026amp; 1956-2021).","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545407443119,"sku":"CC28079","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC28079.png?v=1770389649","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/barysilite","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
