Golden Yellow Barite on Purple Fluorite – Xiefang Mine, China

A striking natural Golden Yellow Barite on Purple Fluorite mineral specimen, attributed to the Xiefang Mine, Jiangxi Province, China, featuring an attractive combination of golden-yellow tabular Barite crystals beautifully contrasted against a dark purple-brown Fluorite matrix.

This eye-catching specimen displays numerous well-formed, elongated tabular Barite crystals arranged in overlapping clusters across the matrix. The crystals exhibit rich honey-yellow to golden coloration, with areas of translucency and reflective crystal faces that catch the light beautifully.

The underlying Fluorite forms a contrasting dark purple to smoky-brown crystalline matrix, creating an appealing backdrop for the bright yellow Barite. Its rounded and intergrown crystal surfaces add texture and depth to the overall composition.

The natural arrangement of the Barite crystals, combined with the contrasting Fluorite matrix, gives this specimen an attractive three-dimensional appearance with multiple viewing angles.

Measuring approximately 96 × 82 × 37 mm and weighing 400 grams, this cabinet-sized mineral specimen offers a substantial and visually appealing display piece for collectors of Chinese minerals, Barite crystals, and Fluorite associations.
