About this specimen

Yunnan golden transparent baryte at 7.8 cm and 160 g; a small cabinet piece. A dense cluster of pale golden-yellow baryte blades, transparent and glassy, packed in every direction with a grey base.

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

Yunnan is China's most mineralogically diverse province, source of the pyromorphite, azurite and blue aragonite that have become collector favourites.

By size it is small cabinet, 7.8 × 6 × 5 cm (3.07 × 2.36 × 1.97 in) and 160 g (5.6 oz). Otherwise the piece is sold exactly as photographed.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
