A superb mound of sparkling white and opaque opaque barite crystals, with the largest crystals reaching 3.7 cm. Creamy white fluorescence under shortwave UV. A roughly triangular depression in the back suggests this formed over scalenohedral calcite, with subsequent dissolution of the calcite (i.e. it is an epimorph). Excellent condition, and self-standing.
