Barite Crystal Cut and Polished

This wonderful cross-section of Barite crystals comes from the Lubin Mining District in Poland. The cut and polished stone slice allows you to observe the growth structure of this cream and tan colored Barite crystal cluster.

Crystals from this locality are inter-grown stalactites / rosettes of bladed Barite and some have micro crystals of Pyrite on top. They also fluoresce under UV and phosphoresce creating a gorgeous green glow!

The Lubin Mining District is a famous mining area in Poland, known for extensive Copper and Silver deposits. Most of the minerals occur in veins along fault lines and sometimes within individual cavities that can range in size from a foot to large enough for you to walk through.

This specimen has been cut and polished on one side, with the reverse side left in the raw and natural state. A perfect example of the Barite crystal formation on the exterior and a cross-section of the interior of the crystals.

Specimen Size (excluding base): Approx. 3.25" H x 1.5" W x .75" Deep

*Comes pre-mounted on clear acrylic display stand approx. 1.25" x 1.25"
