Item Description
A long, slender crystal of gypsum and a perpendicular sidecar crystal have been entirely replaced by goethite, retaining the form of the gypsum crystals; the centers are hollow, and the gypsum is now completely gone. This fanciful piece looks like the burnt-out trunk of a large tree.
