Barite with Marcasite

Unknown Owner
Colorless partly gemmy tabular crystals of barite measuring to 3.5 cm in size forming a matrix less cluster and accented nicely with small crystals of metallic golden marcasite. Minimal cleaving present, all of the prominent crystals are in great condition. This is a choice example for this locality. Brightly fluorescent under longwave ultraviolet light.
