I think a very neat old time specimen showing large thick pyramidal terminated crystals of what were once witherite measuring to 5.0 cm in size, these now being replaced by crystallized colorless barite. There is some witherite present still underlying the barite crystals. In terrific condition, comes with an antique label.
