Baryte from Bou Nahas mine, Oumjrane mining area, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco

A wonderfully aesthetic specimen with incredibly sharp colour zoning, going from a delicate blue core to transparent golden outer zone. The lustre and very complete crystal instantly made this one stand out among the many specimens that came out in recent years from this locality. Purchased during the 2022 Ste-Marie-aux-Mines show.
