AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Blue barite from Morocco with clearly visible tabular crystals, densely and irregularly arranged across the entire surface of the specimen. The crystals are a very pale blue color, with cool tones and a slightly milky appearance.

The crystals show an elongated and flat shape, with a delicate luster and surfaces that are partly satin-like. The arrangement of the crystals creates a rich and dynamic structure, with natural overlaps clearly evident.

The back of the specimen is hollow and lacks a matrix. Inside, traces of light calcite are still visible, partially dissolved through etching to further highlight the barite crystals.

Provenance: Morocco
Weight: 580 g
