Large, translucent Ettringite crystals to1.5cm with attached elongated white Calcite crystals. I obtained this specimen 15 years ago from a collection. While some Ettringites can develop a brown surface alteration, this specimen has retained is bright yellow color. Teh Calcites add contrast and a nice composition t the specimen, 3.4 x 2.5 x 2 cm.
