Description

An array of colourless, to colourless-white, elongated calcite crystals, many of which are arranged in sub-parallel groupings. Many of the crystals are water-clear while others show moderate milky-white turbidity and some have a slight pinkish-orange blush, presumably due to the minor presence of iron oxide inclusions.

The specimen is from the collection of Sharon and Eugene Cisneros.
