Description from the seller

A stunningly blue barite originating from the Jebel Ouichane deposit in the Nador province of northeastern Morocco. This locality is renowned for its light to medium blue tabular or "bladed" crystals of this mineral, which are considered among the most attractive in the world due to their color and form.
Color and Appearance – The crystals display a beautiful blue to light sky-blue hue, often set against a darker or rusty matrix, creating a striking and aesthetically rare contrast. Barite typically forms tabular, sometimes parallel-clustered crystals, giving it a decorative appeal.
The blue barite from this area formed in so-called skarn limestone deposits along with other minerals, where under specific low-temperature conditions it crystallized into characteristic tabular structures.
Barite from Jebel Ouichane is regarded as quite rare and highly valued among mineral collectors, prized for both its color and the luster and clarity of its crystals.
