Double-terminated cluster of transparent Barite crystals, 5.2cm, in a vug lined with yellow Calcite crystals. The Barite cluster is attached at the center and projecting out into the open vug for maximum visual impact. There are a couple of not too noticeable broken off crystals, but these don't detract much to this extremly stunning example from this well known occurrence. The Calcites are good sized too, reaching 7mm.
