An amber brown and transparent, 1.2 cm barite point sits on one side of a carpet of yellow, opaque calcite with a sharply formed, doubly terminated and water clear gypsum crystal (variety selenite) measuring 1.4 cm rests on the other side. The calcite produces creamy fluorescence when irradiated with longwave UV (blacklight). Sawn back. Superb condition and displays nicely.
