Barite Crystal Slice

A fun slice of Barite crystals from the Lubin Mining District in Poland. The cut and polished stone slice allows you to see a beautiful cross-section and 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 into a slice with one side polished to a mirror finish. The surrounding edges have been left in their raw and natural state displaying the bladed nature of the individual Barite crystals.

Specimen Size (excluding base): Approx. 3.5" H x 1.25" W x .25" Deep

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