An unusual natural Barite (Baryte) crystal cluster weighing approximately 82g, featuring a dense formation of overlapping bladed and tabular crystals.
The specimen displays beautiful peach, salmon-orange, cream and golden-yellow tones, with natural iron-rich staining adding depth to the crystal surfaces. Many of the individual Barite crystals show pronounced parallel striations and a pearly to glassy lustre, forming attractive fan and rosette-like arrangements across the specimen.
The reverse reveals a paler cream-white matrix with further crystal growth and areas of warm rusty-orange mineralisation.
A particularly characterful specimen with plenty to examine from every angle.

Disclaimer: Gemstone identification is based on visual assessment only, considering colour, pattern, translucency, lustre and other observable characteristics. Stones have not been laboratory tested unless explicitly stated. Whilst every effort has been made to identify each gemstone accurately, identification should be considered our best professional opinion rather than a certified mineralogical determination. Natural gemstones vary in colour, pattern and inclusions, making every piece unique. Metaphysical properties are based on traditional beliefs and are not scientifically proven.
