BARITE CRYSTAL CLUSTER MOROCCO
A stunning Specimen Barite Crystal Cluster Morocco. There is some minor Vanadinite on this piece, characteristic Barite of well formed crystals from the location which make it collectable. Also known as Baryte, it is named after the Greek word for ‘weight’ which is considerable for a non-metallic material. A very nice specimen 🙂 and not so easy to find lately.

Vanadinite.
Pb5(VO4)3Cl.
Vanadinite is a secondary mineral in the oxidized zone of lead bearing deposits. Almost always found in the oxidation zone of lead deposits in arid climates resulting from the alteration of vanadiferous sulphides and silicates of the gangue and wall rocks.
Vanadinite is one of the main industrial ores of the metal vanadium and a minor source of lead. About 80% of vanadium produced is used as a steel additive. Vanadium steel alloys are very tough, used for armour plate, axles, tools, piston rods and crankshafts. Less than 1% of vanadium, and as little chromium, makes steel shock resistant and vibration resistant. Vanadium (V) oxide is used as a pigment for ceramics and glass, as a catalyst and in producing superconducting magnets.

Barite:
BaSO4.
An ore of Barium. Magnetism: Diamagnetic. Thermal Behavior: Inverts to another (monoclinic ?) polymorph when heated to 1149°C. Above 1400°C decomposition to barium oxide, sulphur dioxide and oxygen. Thermoluminescent at times. Insoluble in water, acids and bases. Moderately soluble in hot, concentrated sulfuric acid, due to formation of the hydrogen sulphate.
