{"product_id":"barite-crystal-cluster-morocco-236g","title":"Barite Crystal Cluster - Morocco (236g)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Moroccan barite crystal cluster weighing 236 grams and measuring approximately 3 x 2 inches. The specimen features tabular barite crystals in translucent pale gold and grey tones, growing in intersecting formations on a darker matrix. The bladed crystal habit is clearly defined, with individual plates showing characteristic barite cleavage and a glassy luster where unweathered surfaces catch the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBarite (barium sulfate) is one of the heavier common minerals, with a specific gravity of 4.5 — nearly twice the density of quartz. Morocco is a significant source of well-crystallized barite specimens, particularly from mines in the Draa-Tafilalet and Oriental regions. The tabular to prismatic crystals in this cluster formed in hydrothermal veins where barium-rich fluids precipitated under cooling conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 3 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morocco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barite (barium sulfate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural crystal cluster on matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Morocco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52896737591585,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/6845\/3410\/files\/barite-236g-1369.jpg?v=1782415578","url":"https:\/\/www.crystals.com\/products\/barite-crystal-cluster-morocco-236g","provider":"CRYSTALS.COM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
