(see photo, the photos are taken under bright light)! Box Size: 28mm x 21mm \/ 1 1\/8 x 13\/16 Inches; Average Total Weight 16g \/ 0.56oz; This beautiful specimen is glued to the box for higher security! Weight was given for box and crystal together!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarite is a mineral composed of barium sulfate (BaSO4). It receives its name from the Greek word \"barys\" which means \"heavy.\" This name is in response to barite's high specific gravity of 4.5, which is exceptional for a nonmetallic mineral. Typically found as thick to thin tabular crystals, usually in clusters with the crystals growing parallel to one another, or nearly so. Also as bladed, white masses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarite is a common mineral and makes very attractive specimens. It often is an accessory mineral to other minerals and can make a nice backdrop to brightly colored crystals. At times bladed or tabular crystals of Barite form a concentric pattern of increasingly larger crystals outward. This has the appearance of a flower and when colored red by iron stains, these formations are called \"Desert Roses\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarite often replaces other minerals, and may even replace organic materials such as wood, shells, and fossils. It sometimes forms tufacious mounds from deposition of hot, barium-rich springs. It is isomorphous and very similar in form with the mineral Celestine, and may partially replace it. Chemical Formula: BaSO4; Color: Colorless, white, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, brown, blue, green, gray, and black. Hardness: 3 - 3.5; Specific Gravity: 4.3 - 4.6.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(The above information is provided solely for informational purpose.
