A slightly curved, highly transparent gypsum crystal on matrix. This gypsum is quite unusual for its tapered growth, which at first glance might be caused by natural water corrosion. However, the gypsum shows numerous, distinct growth details on its surface, which would be obliterated by aqueous dissolution. Very minor termination damage but this 'tusk' is in otherwise fine shape.
