Baryte Crystal - Height: 6 cm - Width: 15 cm- 5 kg - (1)

It is a magnificent sample of baryte (also called barytine), a mineral consisting of barium sulfate.
Here is a detailed analysis of your specimen Identification and Characteristics

Mineral name: Baryte (BaSO4)
Crystal structure: The crystals exhibit tabular or intergrown lamellar forms, forming geometric patterns often compared to ridges or plumes.
Hue: The shades ranging from pearly white to orange-brown are typical. The reddish/brown color is usually due to the presence of iron oxide inclusions during the formation of the mineral.
Notable properties
A high density: This is one of the most striking features of baryte. Despite its size, this mineral is surprisingly heavy in hand due to the presence of barium in its chemical formula.
Hardness: It is a relatively soft mineral, ranking around 3 to 3.5 on the Mohs scale (it can be scratched quite easily).
Probable origin
This type of aesthetic mineral formation with orange lamellar crystals is very characteristic of the superb deposits of Mibladen, in Morocco, which are world-renowned for the quality of their baryte specimens.
