Several crystals show broad, flat faces with a strong glassy to submetallic luster, while smaller translucent grey and reddish-brown crystals fill the spaces between them. Pale cream-colored matrix and lighter crystal growth along one side give the specimen some contrast, and the overlapping blocky to tabular crystals create a heavy, layered structure with good definition from several viewing angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Barite is a dark variety of barite, a barium sulfate mineral known for its unusually high specific gravity and broad range of crystal habits. Morocco is one of the better-known sources for collector-grade barite, especially from the Midelt and Mibladen mining areas, where barite commonly occurs with lead-bearing minerals and iron-rich coatings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpiritually, Barite is commonly associated with grounding, mental clarity, focus, and energetic balance. Dark or black Barite is often connected with protection and stability, while also being used by some collectors for meditation and concentration work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith this product, you will get the actual stone in the photograph.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morocco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49176280006826,"sku":null,"price":440.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/7158\/3658\/files\/BlackBariteMorocco-440.jpg?v=1788289734","url":"https:\/\/rubblerockandgem.com\/products\/black-barite-specimen-8","provider":"Rubble Rock And Gem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
