A matrix of dark brown calcite scalenohedral crystals is nearly enrobed in sugary gypsum. This portion of the gypsum displays spotty, neon green fluorescence under shortwave UV. Gypsum curls (variety ramshorn) sprout from the gypsum apex and forms loops, reminiscent of solar plasma ejections. Previous labels with a $100 price tag and a 1968 date. Very nice condition.
