Beautiful example of the famous Barite 'roses' of Oklahoma, which are in fact the official state rock of Oklahoma. They are comprised of flower-like arrangments of crystals, approximately equal parts Barite and sand, with trace amounts of Hematite giving the reddish coloration. Good crystal all around, front and back. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.
