Calcite cast over Barite with Barite

Unknown Owner
Unusual and interesting specimen, this showing a crystallized calcite cast after thin bladed crystals of barite that are now gone. A second-generation of yellowish gemmy prismatic barite crystals measuring to 3.0 cm in length are scattered throughout. This is in terrific condition all around.
