	These were in a vug inside a large chunk of chert.

	That's some pretty darn chert! Thanks for the pictures! Those are some good pictures of some good specimens of that stuff. I've seen it before and it's about time we figured out what it is! I wonder if the straight segments filling the void in the one picture is the same mineral as the clusters? May have more than one mineral pictured there? About time to take a look with the ShortWave!

	My short wave quit working, I'm in the process of getting a replacement. I was able to get a couple of halfway decent 365nm pictures of the cluster of three. I hope this helps in identifying what they are. Thanks!

	Could it be Baryite?

	Yes. I'd say that is the best guess. Good job! Thanks for the pictures.

	My first guess would be barite.
