This is a large cluster of rhodochrosite, shaped in three dimensions like a flower, and would be a nice large example from the locality by any standard. What is surprising, is that it has associated crystals of sharp rhombohedral baryte perched upon the flower shaped rosette, and this is a very unusual association! From a 2022 pocket at this classic locality.
