Description

Barite and malachite on a dark limonite/goethite matrix. The barite crystals reach up to 2.8 cm in diameter. Green malachite has grown on the barite, and a thin, transparent layer of gypsum has partially formed over both the malachite and barite. The gypsum gives the barite a sparkling luster, while the malachite provides excellent color contrast. This remarkable piece comes from an old Greek iron mine. Such barites are no longer available on the mineral market, and new finds are no longer possible.
