Now, THIS is a nice baryte specimen! Grayish, lustrous crystals with pure white-zones on the edges of the crystals make for nice contrasting crystals. Displays very well. The occurrence at Aguathuna is a "white smoker", a sub-sea hot spring that precipitated lighter coloured barium sulphate instead of black sulphide nineralization. Very cool deposit and specimens!
