Description

This aesthetic specimen features blade-like baryte crystals in a classic "desert rose" arrangement from the renowned Mibladen mining district. The primary baryte crystals exhibit a soft pink colour, which is dramatically enhanced by a dense coating of fine-crystalline vanadinite. This crystalline coating of tiny vanadinite individuals provides an intense, sparkling lustre and a warm, orange-red saturation to the entire piece.

The intricate, overlapping blades of the baryte create a complex, three-dimensional structure.
