These strange floater balls of selenite crystals formed in the clay beds of the Red River Floodway near the city of Winnipeg. This ball is covered with twinned crystals, with two of them having grown large and shooting out dramatically in a beautifully balanced way. They are very gemmy, and in pristine condition.
