Blue Barite is a beautiful crystal that forms flowery-like shapes. It has become a bit rarer due to the fact that the main mine located in Morocco has stopped production of mining specimens. While it can be found in other locations, most frequently in the USA, the quality can be lower. Good formation and grade of this wonderful crystal can get quite expensive.
As a result we are delighted to have these specimens in and provide them at a low price.

Our Blue Barite/ Baryte specimens come from two mines, San Jorge and Teresite both located in the Murcia sector in Spain. They will be available to purchase via Instagram @rockyroadminerals on Friday 15/07/22 and if there is anything left, we will upload it to the website at a later stage.
