Mineral specimens search results for [ Baryte ]

Druse of Calcite crystals, clearly pseudomorphs after Baryte, of which it has preserved the dominant forms of the pinacoid and one of the prisms and forming translucent parallel growths. Comes from the old collection of Robert-Auguste Touchon. Analytical results show it to be simply Baryte partially covered by Calcite, and not Alstonite or Barytocalcite.
Mining district Alston Moor, Nenthead, Eden, North Pennines Orefield, former Cumberland, Cumbria England / United Kingdom
Specimen size: 7.4 × 4.6 × 4.4 cm = 2.91” × 1.81” × 1.73”

TAB48XXX: Baryte on Calcite

Two groups of Baryte crystals, one of them forming a rosette aggregate of cream color and the other a fibrous-radial aggregate, possibly replacing a fossil shell and preserving its original structure, with the terminations being more whitish. They are on a matrix of very fine-grained clayey rock, whitish, completely covered by cream-colored Calcite crystals of a darker tone and lustrous, partially coating a botryoidal aggregate with another possible fossil shell. Warden Bay is a coastal area known for its Eocene clay cliffs (London Clay Formation), rich in fossils and concretions. It is a classic locality for the occurrence of Baryte and Pyrite nodules and crystals, formed under reducing sedimentary conditions, often associated with organic remains.
Warden Bay, Isle of Sheppey island, Kent County England / United Kingdom
Specimen size: 8.4 × 6.9 × 5.1 cm = 3.31” × 2.72” × 2.01”
