AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful specimen of Barite from the San Giovanni mine in Sardinia, characterized by rich crystallization and a cream-white color.

The sample consists of numerous flattened and elongated crystals, often gathered in fan-shaped aggregates and arranged densely and irregularly. The crystallization is very well developed and creates a pleasant play of overlaps and small spaces between the crystals, making the piece interesting to observe from different angles.

The surfaces show good luster and delicate nuances from white to cream and light beige.
Some crystals have breaks and small chips, visible in the photographs.
Overall, it is a specimen with a natural and harmonious shape, with crystallization clearly evident on much of the sample.

The photographs are an integral part of the description. Slight differences in color rendering may occur depending on the monitor, display, or device used to view the images.
