A pair of conjoined, pyramidal calcite crystals having an unidentified, white overgrowth (gypsum? calcite?). Straddling the valley between the calcites is a nest of colorless gypsum needles to about 1 cm in length. Fluorescent; the coating glows white under longwave UV (blacklight) whereas under shortwave UV the calcites are a spotty orange color. Self standing for display on its sawn base. One calcite is contacted on the rear of its termination while the smaller calcite is pristine.
