A complex, glassy cerussite crystal with minor, pinkish, lenticular baryte. The cerussite glows a brilliant lemon yellow color under longwave UV (blacklight). A white to colorless, opaque to transparent unknown is also present. This unknown is insoluble in water, is not fluorescent and does not effervesce with dilute HCl (so it is not aragonite as sometimes stated, nor is it cerussite) - maybe a second baryte generation? Or something more exotic? Regardless, the cerussite is above average size for the locality and is in superb condition.
