A glassy gypsum crystal, worthy of the 'selenite' moniker, whose water clarity is marred only by minor inclusions. Twinned, with the V-shape (or fishtail) termination intact; the 'fish head' termination was lost due to a matrix contact. Very nice overall condition, especially considering that gypsum is rather soft (Mohs hardness 2) and easily cleaved.
