Locality type: Mine Classification Species: Baryte Formula: BaSO4 Comments: translucent to opaque, white to off-white bladed crystals in sometimes large groups associated with sulfides and quartz. These groups are often damaged. The barite crystals may have white centers which are less transparent when compared to the white edges; this creates a two tone effect on the crystals. The barite crystals average about 2 cm in size, but may e up to 10 cm long, and occur in plates up to about 22 cm across, associated with the milky quartz Colour: white to off-white Confirmation Validity: Believed Valid Associated Minerals Based on Photo Data: Pyrargyrite 12 Miargyrite 6 Baumstarkite 5 Diaphorite 3 Quartz 2 Siderite 1 Stephanite 1 Freibergite Subgroup 1 Pyrite 1 Galena 1 Data Mineral Data: Click here to view Baryte data Locality Data: Click here to view San Genaro Mine, Santa Ana District, Castrovirreyna Province, Huancavelica, Peru Photo Gallery View Gallery (7 photos) Data Identifiers Mindat Occurrence Record ID: 40904 Long-form Identifier: 1:3:40904:3 GUID (UUID V4 ): 0 Nearest other occurrences of Baryte
