A rare and fine twinned gypsum (variety selenite) crystal from the Rosh Pinah Mine of Namibia. The blocky, V-twinned crystal is super sharp and water-clear and has a beautiful amber tint. The smaller crystal in the "V" is a beautiful accent. This crystal is complete-all-around and pristine. It comes from the one-time, 1987 find at the mine.
