About this specimen

Jinkouhe, Sichuan, baryte at 10.1 cm and 328 g; a cabinet piece. A cluster of large, clear tabular baryte blades stacked at angles, the faces glassy with fine growth lines.

Baryte (barite) is barium sulfate: heavy for its size, soft, and prone to tabular or bladed crystals with a bright vitreous lustre.

Sichuan hosts Xuebaoding, Jinkouhe and Leshan, sources of aquamarine, scheelite, prehnite, gypsum and the epidote-quartz skarn specimens seen here.

Dimensions place it in the cabinet range, 6 × 4.3 × 10.1 cm (2.36 × 1.69 × 3.98 in) and 328 g (11.6 oz). The specimen is otherwise sold in the condition shown.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
