A SPECTACULAR, doubly terminated, transparent gypsum crystal with secondary crystals growing in parallel and at high angles. A very aesthetic specimen from Germany. It looks like a ray-gun. The CABINET-SIZED crystal even gives a rainbow-effect, when viewed at certain angles. Very nearly pristine, with only trivial termination bruising. Ex. Marty Zinn Collection # 7702.
