Golden yellow, translucent to transparent, lustrous, bladed barite on drusy quartz. This is a highly unusual combination from Cavnic in my experience. Excellent rich coverage of sharp barite over the surface and in great condition. Minor abrasions on backside only. Mined ca. 1960s-1970s.  Provenance: Gary Richards (Keeper of the Earth); to Charles Noll: to Marquette University-Milwaukee; brokered by Seaman Museum; sold to North Star Minerals. Charles M.
