Barite with Fluorite

Unknown Owner
A loose cluster of colorless mostly gemmy bladed barite crystals hosting minor fluorite. Minimal chipping present, I think that the specimen is in good condition all around. Thin platy crystals of calcite are present, these are fluorescent under shortwave ultraviolet light.
