65mm x 64mm x 48mm
minID: RXN-627
$125
An exceptional rosette of translucent to gemmy light-golden, thick crystals of Barite partly wrapped in tan matrix. These lustrous Barite crystals are up to 35 mm across, with transparent edges and distinct zoning. The Barite also fluoresces yellow-white under UV illumination. Purchased in Tucson in 1992 from Dr. Reinhard Wagner, a Brazilian professor at the Federal University of Campina Grande, Paraiba, Brazil. These are not available on the market anymore. It is very difficult to photograph due to all the angles, and is much better in person. This is a top-notch, high-quality, pristine example from this obscure locality.Data last checked on 30th Jul 2025 - specimen may no longer be available
