This rare specimen of Baryte Frizington West Cumbria is a remarkable example of English mineralogy. Also known as barite or barytes, this mineral consists of barium sulfate (BaSO4).
While typically white or colorless, this specific piece displays a range of unique colors. These hues are caused by natural sulphide and hematite inclusions within the crystal structure.
The baryte group includes minerals like celestine, anglesite, and anhydrite. Barite and celestine often form a solid solution represented by the formula (Ba,Sr)SO4.
Found about 60 years ago, this small cabinet specimen represents a historic era of mining. It is considered an extremely rare find for modern UK mineral collectors today.
