Clear barite on matrix - Grube Clara, Oberwolfach, Black Forest, Germany

This excellent barite specimen comes from the famous Grube Clara in the Black Forest, a world-renowned locality known for its exceptional mineral diversity. The barite presented here shows the typical characteristics of this locality: clarity, precision in crystal formation and an impressive aesthetic effect.

Crystal structure and purity

The piece presents several transparent barite crystals with sharply defined tabular-leafy morphology. The crystals are well formed on a natural matrix and are partly freestanding, which emphasizes their three-dimensional effect.

Color and play of light

The barite shows a clear coloration with high transparency - typical for high-quality pieces from the Clara mine. The smooth crystal surfaces gently reflect the light and create subtle iridescent effects depending on the viewing angle.

Pieces from the Clara mine are coveted collector's items due to their high quality, scientific importance and constant activity at the site for over a century. This specimen is a classic showpiece that impressively embodies the typicality and elegance of Clara-Baryt.
