Description

A true US classic: baryte sandrose.
From the Oklahoma sedimentary formations, these specimens were once the baryte alternatives to the Saharan gypsum sandroses. In this case, crystallized all around baryte aggregates with flower shape are fully dusted by sand grains, giving a very peculiar brown color.
In very good conditions, from the old Kasper collection (CH), which dates back to the mid 70s.
