About Lady's Slipper
Formula:

An epimorph of Siderite after Baryte collected in reasonable numbers in the 19th century from the Virtuous Lady mine in Devon and widely distributed in collections worldwide. How the Siderite managed to remain unaltered while the Baryte was subsequently dissolved away is not easy to understand!
