Item Description

A slender single crystal, complete all around, that exemplifies the qualities of this interesting 2010 find: translucency, shimmering surface luster, and unusual tapering form. It has a pastel yellow color. It is hard to explain or convey in pictures, but there is a certain ethereal quality to these specimens that makes the crystals look "soft" and unusual compared to most other large crystalline species. Note that these are thought to be zoned crystals, wit vrying parts charlesite to ettringite.
