A fine thumbnail spray of gemmy and lustrous orange baryte crystals from the 1989 find at the Rosh Pinah Mine, Namibia. These are considered to be among the very best African barytes available. Highly representative of the species and locality. Some say the inclusions are due to trace amounts of copper or hematite.
