A classic piece of the radium-bearing high lustrous Barite with tabular blocky crystals. Yellow brown to deep honey brown somewhat translucent Radian Barite up to 0,6 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 0,073µSv/h the α+β+γ radiation shows 0,428 µSv/h. Rare and unusual good specimen in cabinet size.
