Barite Crystal Slice

This incredible coral-like cross-section of Barite crystals comes from the Lubin Mining District in Poland. The cut and polished stone slice allows you to observe the beautiful 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 into a slice with one side polished to a high gloss finish. The surrounding edges have been left in their raw and natural state to observe the crystal structure of the Barite.

Specimen Size (excluding base): Approx. 2.75" H x 2.75" W x .25" Deep

*Comes pre-mounted on clear acrylic display stand approx. 2" x 1.5"
