Baryte

Rosh Pinah Mine, Rosh Pinah, Oranjemund Constituency, Karas Region, Namibia

Miniature

4.5 x 3.7 x 1.5 cm

Baryte crystals from Rosh Pinah are by far the best that have been found in Namibia. Specimens are often found in vugs, and are difficult to remove without damaging the delicate crystal formations. This is a fabulous cluster specimen with lovely golden coloured, bladed crystals of Baryte. It is an incredibly lustrous and glassy piece, making it an exceptional example of Namibian baryte.
