Clustered sprays of prismatic, terminated gypsum crystals to 3 cm on a carpet of smaller, translucent, scalenohedral calcite crystals. The main gypsum spray occupies a regal spot at the matrix apex, and is sufficiently transparent (moreso than the photos suggest) to earn the selenite variety moniker. The gypsum displays modest white fluorescence under both longwave UV (blacklight) and shortwave UV. The specimen is in excellent condition. Better by far than any of the other Mindat photos of gypsum from this locality.
