I put this as a novelty piece because I just don't know about it. It looks like a Barite Rose, and that's how I have it titled. I'm relatively confident of this. I'm just not sure about the glittery, sparkly material that coats the rose -- is it natural or not. It looks like it is, but I'm not an expert. Regardless, the rose portion of the speciman has very little damage to it, and the 'blades' form a nice overall shape.

This is one of the pieces I picked up at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show in 2001, in one of the side shows.

It was inexpensive and pretty. I believe I paid 5.00 for it.
