A very attractive blue-blue cluster of intergrown brucite crystals, curving in a vertical cluster as displayed. There is minor matrix backing it, and a minute association of ettringite. This is a very dramatic blue brucite, that if it were from Pennsylvania would cost an arm and a leg. But, these South African ones are always underpriced for some reason though I think they are among the most beautiful minerals here.
