This unverified article may contain incorrect or unverified data and does not officially represent the views of mindat.org or any of its management team.This specimen was collected from an Old State Road 37 road cut in Harrodsburg, IN. a few years ago. This spot seems to be a very good place to find large baryte crystals, especially at the lower levels. There are almost no loose specimens to collect here though, so extracting them from the solid matrix is the only option. I have some good baryte pics from here that I'll add shortly, with some very large singular crystals. (Note- the article that was here was supposed to be my home page article, sorry!)
