Description

This one is hard to photograph – the crystal at the front is freestanding and ~38mm in diameter. The barite shows a nearly white color with a touch of yellow. Good contrast to dark, nearly black matrix. The specimen came out a small find in 2011 from this uncommon and rare locality. All larger crystals are undamaged.
