Barite
Barite, 7.6 cm, from Frizington, West Cumberland Iron Field, Cumbria, England. The mines around Frizington all exploit the same orebody. Cavities up to 9 meters across were encountered, yielding specimens of hematite “kidney ore,” calcite, chalcopyrite and pyrite as well as barite. Crystals tinted red, like the one shown here, were found at the Mowbray mine.
