Radian BariteItem number: MIN0363 Size: 135x125x125 mm Crystal size (max.): 23 mm Weight: 2129 g Locality: Lahošť (Jeníkov), Duchcov, Ústí Region, Czech Republic
Bigger tabular, honey-yellow brown slightly translucent with selective deposition of luster and matte faces
Radian Barite crystals up to 2,3 cm grown densely on the Quartz-porphyry (Paleoignimbrite) matrix. Due to comparatively short decay of Radium (226Ra half-life = 1600 years) the specimen indicates a minor radioactivity. At background of 0,080 µSv/h the α+β+γ radiation shows 0,252 µSv/h. Rare and unusual good specimen.
