Unusually elongated crystals to 2.7 cm form the core, reaching vertically up, of this unusual cluster. The front face is bizarre and mesmerizing in its form. The side faces are slightly coated (and hence not lustrous) and the back has a powdery secondary coating of vanadinite as with most of this pocket. The piece overall, from the display frontal face, is most unusual as you can see.
