A thick bladed, translucent brown, color zoned Baryte crystal from this oldtime-classic locality. For how old the specimen must be, with an old Gregory, Bottley & Co. label, it is in good shape. The termination is sharp but with a tiny ding. There are other scuff marks, but in general most of the imperfections are internal and not man made. The prim sides have a sawtooth-like habit. Overall a great specimen.
