This Baryte specimen, unlike the other in this update, is actually pleasing to the eye. The color is a nice golden amber. The crystals are terminated with pyramidal faces. These are essentially the same crystal forms as the previous crystal from Canada.

Baryte from South Dakota is the world's finest. I am, of course, biased living here in South Dakota. This crystal is 3.3cm nearly flawless crystal on a bit of matrix. The termination is ever slightly frosted and the color is a rich root beer color, which have made these Barytes so desirable.
