A cluster of light blue, rice grain smithsonite crystals sit on one face of a terminated, water-clear gypsum crystal (variety selenite). The gypsum contains a sharp, brown phantom inside, probably iron hydroxides/oxides. Tiny, colorless willemite crystals sit along one edge of the smithsonite next to the gypsum; this willemite glows a bright neon green under shortwave UV. The gypsum has a few minor bumps but the specimen overall is in nice condition.
