RM897   Baryte
Ba(SO4)

Specimen with a good size formed by a rich group of tabular baryte crystals, very sharp and brilliant, showing pseudohexagonal forms and with a uniform ocher color. A mine poorly represented in collections.

Size: 9.8 x 8.3 x 6.5 cm.
Main crystal: 18 x 17 mm.
Sold
RM905   Baryte
Ba(SO4)

On a thin limonite matrix we can enjoy two aggregates and aesthetic baryte rosettes formed by lenticular crystals are arranged. Both aggregates are complete, but one of them shows an unusual perfection. It comes from a mine known for its ocher tone barytes,but this shape is not very common in this mine.

Size: 9.0 x 7.0 x 3.5 cm.
Main crystal: 23 x 20 mm. (roseta)
Sold
RM756   Fluorita

Group of interpenetrated cubic fluorite crystals with violet tones and delicate color zoning, transparence in some crystals, most being translucent. Characteristic for fluorite of this mine are the corroded faces. They are disposed on a matrix of iron oxides. What I also would like to emphisize of this piece is the mine from which it comes, near Alumbres in Cartagena, not well represented in collections.

Size: 6,4 x 4,5 x 3,3 cm.
Main crystal: 13 x 12 mm.
Fluorescent under long wave UV

RM535   Celestine
Sr(SO4)
  -  7. Sulfates, chromates, molybdates and wolframates

Tabular celestite crystal with a good size and very defined faces and edges. Very aerial disposed on the matrix. Excellent transparence and brilliance. During many years these crystals were characterized as barite, but later studies showed that they were celestite. From a classic Spanish mine.

Size: 5,7 x 4,0 x 2,3 cm.
Main crystal: 23 x 17 mm.
