Price: EUR 47.00
Translucent golden-orange Selenite cluster with individual crystals up to 6 cm in size. Some of the bigger crystals showing "phantom" zones of growth. The specimen demonstrates the dynamic of crystalization by evaporization from a pool of gypsum-rich water. The first chunky crystals slow crystallized slowly, so that the skinny ones indicate sudden and spontaneous crystallization.
