Item number: MIN0356
Price: EUR 85.00
Tabular honey-yellow brown to dark brown slightly translucent and high lustrous Radian Barite crystals up to 1,4 cm grown 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 0,098µSv/h the α+β+γ radiation shows 0,465 µSv/h.
