Description

A near all around coverage of fine barite crystals covering witherite on black limestone.

Interesting habit which George has labelled as "Barytocalcite with Barite," I am sure is it witherite beneath?

Very good and undamaged example from Liverick Vein, acquired from Glyn Cunnick (Plymouth) 17 July 1994.
