About this specimen

Olive-gold blades cross and re-cross here like a lattice assembled in a hurry: tabular barite crystals, each a flat golden panel edged in bright light, stacked at every angle until the cluster reads as one interlocking mass. Over and through them run paler blades, almost colourless with a warm blush, catching the light on their broad faces while the gold ones glow from within.

Barite is BaSO4 — orthorhombic, only 3 to 3.5 on the Mohs scale, and startlingly heavy for its bulk. That weight is the giveaway when you first pick a piece up: 145 g in a cluster barely 6.6 cm across. The softness deserves respect too, since thin blade edges chip more readily than their glassy shine suggests.

The cluster measures 6.6 × 5.1 × 3.3 cm, weighs 145 g, and rests on a small clear acrylic block. What you see photographed on that block is what ships.
