Calcite and pyrite - Vechec quarry.
Pyrite crystals have grown on the first dark yellow generation of calcite, some of which were subsequently completely covered by the second generation of younger, light yellow calcite.

EE8-H5ABaryte BaSO₄ , Calcite CaCO₃ , Quartz (Var: Chalcedony) SiO₂

Slanec quarry, Slanec, Košice-okolie District, Košice Region, Slovakia

Dimensions: 7 mm x 5 mm x 3 mm

Baryte from the Slanec quarry

The interesting thing about this specimen is that baryte forms aggregate consisting of several isolated crystals gradually grown in one place. Baryte is the youngest mineral crystallized on two-generation calcite (older calcite is dark yellow to light orange, younger calcite is light yellow), under which is generationally the oldest mineral - blue chalcedony. All these minerals were formed in the fissure of andesite. The size of the baryte aggregate is 7 x 5 x 3 mm. Photo by Luboš Hrdlovič, Pavol Myšľan collection, self-collected in august 2023.
