RM2775   Fluorite and quartz

Dalnegorsk fluorite specimens are very difficult to photograph. This is the case of this piece formed by groups of cubic crystals, transparent, colorless, defined, with the edges of the cube beveled by the dodecahedron and inclusions of very curious shapes. It is accompanied by quartz crystals dotted with green chlorite. A very curious piece ... 6uv4j

RM2773   Baryte
Ba(SO4)

These baryte crystals are very different from the usual ones that we can see coming from this Moroccan locality and even from other deposits famous for baryte. These are prisms of different orders, the predominant third order, truncated by the second order. We observe that a white geometric growth has formed and only affects certain faces of the rhombic prisms. This zoning is unusual for the species. The crystals are transparent and brilliant.

Size: 6 x 3.1 x 0.6 cm.
Found in 2021.
