Golden, transparent twins of gypsum sticking up off a complete ball of smaller gypsum twins, all a floater! These unique specimens are found in the clay of ancient Red River water beds outside Winnipeg. They are collected from a spillway cut under license and permit, and recently I am told that production went to nothing and more haven't come out in several years. 5.1 x 4.4 x 3.8 cm
