Item Description
A fine, sharp, translucent, pastel lemon-yellow ettringite crystal. It has the distinctive tapered termination and shimmering surface luster from a secondary overgrowth, characteristic of these crystals. The display view is pristine. The contact on the back is out-of-sight. An excellent specimen from the find of 2008, which has really just redefined the size of a crystal of this species one can expect to own.
