About this specimen

A fan of blush-pink barite blades rises off dark, glittering matrix, each tabular plate laid against the next like cards pushed sideways out of a deck. The pink is soft and even, warming to cream at the blade tips and along the thin edges where light passes through them. A second, smaller fan opens to the right at a lower angle, half-buried in the granular ground.

Bou Nahas, in the Oumjrane district, is known for barite in exactly this bladed habit on sulphide-rich rock, and the dark ground beneath is what carries the pale crystals across a room. Barite (BaSO4) is soft at Mohs 3 to 3.5 yet startlingly heavy for its size, with a specific gravity near 4.5 — the property that earned it the old miners’ name of heavy spar. Thin blades chip at the edge, so lift the specimen by its matrix.

The specimen measures 4.8 × 5.1 × 3.6 cm and weighs 91 g, held between finger and thumb in the photograph for scale. No stand is fitted; these frames were shot of this single fan and nothing else.
