A very nice and unique old timer and cumbrian classic: a blueish long prismatic translucent to transparent baryte crystal with termination hosts cream white dolomite crystals and on one side a nice aggregate of hematite var kidney ore. Good condition wrt the age of the specimen, quite a nice and beautiful combo.

Most probably from Frizington IMO.
