Barite ON HOLD

Barites from Tsumeb are not typically aesthetic. They were also somewhat uncommon. This specimen is comprised of a series of gemmy amber elongated crystals bisected by a small shard of micro-crystalline quartz. Very nice thumbnail. Ex Piroska Magyar

Locality: Tsumeb Mine, Otjikoto Region, Tsumeb, Namibia

Composition: barium sulfate
