“Orthorhombic. Crystals resemble closely those of barite. Commonly tabular parallel to the base or prismatic parallel to the brachy- or macro-axis with prominent development of the domes. Crystals which are elongated parallel to the brachy-axis are frequently terminated in front by four faces in nearly equal development, consisting of 2 prism faces and 2 of the macrodome.” — Ford, 1912
