Barite with Quartz, Calcite & Chalcopyrite – Fine Mineral Crystal Specimen
Description
This extraordinary mineral specimen features sharp blue bladed Barite crystals rising through a complex matrix of quartz, white calcite, and shimmering golden chalcopyrite. The translucent blue barite blades form dramatic, angular structures that contrast beautifully with the brilliant metallic chalcopyrite. Sparkling calcite and well defined quartz add highlights throughout the piece.
The result is a naturally sculpted crystal composition that feels both elegant and intricate — a true display specimen formed by multiple geological events working together over time.
Dimensions & Weight
Measurement: 7” x 3.5” x 3.5”
Weight: 1075g
Collector’s Notes
Multi-mineral specimens of this quality are highly sought after by serious collectors. The presence of well-formed Barite, combined with quartz and calcite crystal growth and natural chalcopyrite mineralization, indicates a rich and complex hydrothermal environment — exactly the conditions that produce the world’s most visually striking mineral pieces.
This specimen stands out for its crystal density, layered mineral relationships, and strong visual contrast between metallic and translucent surfaces.
Highlights
Dramatic bladed Barite crystal formation
Well defined Quartz and Calcite crystals
Sparkling golden Chalcopyrite mineralization
Highly aesthetic, multi-dimensional structure
Untreated, museum-quality specimen
Metaphysical Properties
Barite is believed to support clarity, higher awareness, and grounding, helping the mind organize complex thoughts. Quartz is known as an energy amplifier and purifier, while calcite is associated with emotional balance and clarity. Chalcopyrite is often called a stone of abundance and confidence, believed to encourage prosperity and remove energetic blockages. Together, this combination is thought to create a powerful field for focus, growth, and energetic renewal.
Mineralogy
Barite (BaSO₄) forms in tabular and bladed crystals and is known for its heavy weight and brilliant luster.
Quartz (SiO₂) is one of the most abundant minerals, prized for its clarity and crystal structure.
Calcite (CaCO₃) commonly grows in crystal clusters and rhombohedral forms.
Chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂) is a copper-iron sulfide mineral known for its golden metallic luster.
These minerals formed together in hydrothermal veins, where mineral-rich fluids deposited layers of crystal growth over time, creating the intricate intergrown formations seen in this specimen.
