Barite, Daye, Huangshi, Hubei Province, China

If you are looking for a classy Chinese barite, look no further. This cabinet specimen flaunts thick lathe-shaped crystals with interesting colour-zoning. The crystals have nice luster and have evidence of recrystallization. As you would expect for a barite of this size, the piece has noticeable heft when handling it. Ex Rob Belcher.
