Beautiful small specimen with well formed barytocalcite crystals from a very well known mine in the uk. The specimen is crystallized on both sides, on the larger crystals are still unknown globules, which can not be clearly assigned visually. I bought this specimen a few years ago in the uk for my own collection.
