Sharp, semi-composite crystals of baryte with interesting white zones on the corners of the crystals. The crystals have a light blue tinge. You've heard of "black smokers"? well this occurrence is a "white smoker", a sub-sea hot spring that precipitated barium/calcium/sulphate minerals instead of sulphides! Nice piece from this very cool location!
