A highly transparent, twinned gypsum crystal having some central brown inclusions. From a locality famous for its bizarrely-formed gypsum twins. The term 'selenite' is overused, with some dealers and collectors using this term to describe any gypsum specimen, when the term should only be used for colorless, transparent material. This specimen, however, truly desires the moniker. As expected for a mineral this soft (Mohs hardness 2) some minor rubs and edgewear are noted.
