. These barytes are a true Colorado classic. The area has been extensively dug by rockhounds from all over the county. However quality specimens, especially clusters remain hard to find. The tips are all well terminated except for the large bottom crystal which cleaved in the pocket. This was not during or after collecting, as evidenced by the mineralized overgrowth on the clevage face.
