Very nice specimen of "Cox Comb" silvery Marcasite crystals on Dolomite.
"The most famous habit for marcasite is its "cock's comb" twinned habit. The crystals appear like a roster's head crest, hence the name. The habit is very distinctive and can not be mistaken for any other mineral" (Click here for source of quote).
Huge crystal of glassy Magnesite. Occurence of Magnesite in well formed crystals is extremely rare in general, but this size makes this specimen more so.
Attractive covering of silky pale green botroyoidal Smithsonite on matrix.
The distinct mineral Smithsonite was first described in 1832 and named for British chemist and mineralogist, James Smithson (1754-1829), whose estate financed the Smithsonian Institution (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
Metaphysical properties: Hematite is known as a "stone for the mind". It instills mental organization and is very grounding and calming. It helps with creative thinking, logical thinking, and mathematics. It reduces negativity and can help balance the body, mind and spirit.

The name baryte is derived from the Greek word βαρύς (heavy). In commerce, the mineral is sometimes referred to as "barytes." When the International Mineralogical Association formed in 1959 the American spelling "barite" was chosen as the official over the older "baryte". This decision was reversed in 1978 (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
