A 9.5 cm, terminated and very clear
gypsum crystal (variety selenite) is associated with two
quartz casts (pseudomorphs) after an unknown mineral
(likely anhydrite). These casts are decorated with
iridescent, fine-grained pyrite. The gypsum has a few
scuffs and cleavage points, mostly on the back side.
