Salmon Barite with Cerussite and Galena from Morocco

SKU: S_00138

A classic and very aesthetic paragenesis from the Moroccan Mibladen region. The main part of the specimen consists of densely intergrown, lamellar baryte crystals of a distinct salmon-orange color. Fine, but highly vitreous and translucent yellowish cerussite crystals are clearly visible on the surface of the baryte, forming beautiful twins in the center. A valuable asset of the cerussite crystals on this specimen is their distinct fluorescence under UV light. Main Features: salmon-orange, lamellar baryte; vitreous cerussite twins; distinct cerussite fluorescence in UV; metallic galena (matrix). Condition: Good plus. The front part of the specimen with cerussite crystals is in excellent condition, and the cerussites themselves are intact.
