On one face we have scattered clusters of light pink barite blades on a bed of small, nearly colorless fluorite cubes. A pocket on the (nearly) obverse side is lines with slightly larger barite blades. Under longwave UV the edges of the fluorite carpets glow a bright purple. Longwave UV also reveals the presence of minor cerussite, identified by its yellow fluorescence. Representative for the species/locality.
