description:
Tabular crystals of what were once barite to 1.8 cm on edge now replaced by sugary sparkling crystallized quartz lining a tight open pocket. The pocket even appears to be the shape of a large tabular barite crystal that is now gone. Very interesting specimen in very good condition. The nature of the specimen is shown well in the video provided.
