Lustrous sharp bladed crystals of barite to 2.0 cm in size covering the top of this matrix. Minor pyrite is present within the matrix. This is a very good example for the species from this locality. In excellent condition. There is a note on the previous label that this is possibly repaired, I cannot find where the piece is repaired.
