Description

Classic Barite after Witherite from the Nentsberry Haggs Mine in Cumbria.  Fairly thick coating of Baryte replacing golden Witherite. Excellent powder matte surface with a nice golden hue core.  Nice hexagonal form and stepped crystal sides.  A few micro-crystalline sphalerites scattered across the surface. I collected this in the late-1980s when the Mine was still accessible.
