Barite, a barium sulfate mineral, is well known for its wide range of colors and crystal habits. Highly regarded for its heaviness and brilliance, it is predominantly sought after by collectors for its aesthetic and scientific significance. The specimen features a beautiful cluster formation, showcasing the mineral's classic tabular and prismatic crystal forms.
Barite's relatively soft nature (hardness of 3 to 3.5 on the Mohs scale) contrasts its ability to form well-defined and often large, transparent crystals. This piece is ideal for collectors who value both educational aspects and visual appeal in their specimens. It comes display-ready with an ID card.
