About this specimen

These stunning specimens boast exceptional clarity and color, making them perfect for collectors and crystal enthusiasts alike. Bring a piece of Morocco's geological wonder into your collection today!

Barite (BaSO4) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and is known for its distinctive tabular crystal forms. This specimen exhibits a bright vitreous luster and a hardness of 3 to 3.5 on the Mohs scale. The crystals display a rich, translucent amber to honey hue with well-defined edges and smooth faces, characteristic of the Bou Nahas locality in the Oumjrane region. This area is celebrated among mineralogists for producing high-quality barite specimens that combine aesthetic appeal with geological significance.

Weighing approximately 90 grams with dimensions of 49x52x35 mm, this piece stands out for its excellent transparency and the natural arrangement of its crystals, offering an attractive display quality. Such specimens are valued by collectors for their provenance and the balanced combination of color, form, and clarity, representing a fine example of Moroccan mineralogy.

To preserve its natural beauty, it is recommended to handle the barite gently and avoid exposure to prolonged moisture or harsh chemicals, as these can affect the surface luster and integrity of the crystals.
