This large, blocky, twinned baryte was found during the 2012 season at the bottom of the Humdinger Pocket. It was found "floating" in the pocket mud but had not had time to reheal itself. Has a nice secondary growth of smaller barytes upon the face, with a slight coating of preferential baryte as well. This specimen measures approx. 72mm x 30mm x 40mm. Pictures are available of this specimen right after extraction. Specimen BB-1 .

An absolutely beautiful baryte from the depths of the Humdinger Pocket. This specimen had come to rest horizontally in the lower part of the pocket, and was extremely difficult to extract. One side has the preferential coating, and the other is highly lustrous with secondary growths. Displays wonderfully and is highly aesthetic. Measures approx. 65mm x 30mm x 45mm. Specimen BB-4

jPerhaps the most impressive floater found to date! This cluster of golden barytes was found at the bottom of the Humdinger Pocket. Nicknamed "The Arrowhead", this interestingly shaped floater-cluster is totally damage free. The crystals wrap all around the specimen, with only a tiny amount of the host they grew upon visible. I do not currently have this close by, but will add dimensions and other pertinent details as soon as possible! Specimen ARROW1
