A large and spectacular example of the incredible glassy-transparent selenites from Naica - with over a DOZEN terminations! There are a few tip bruises, which are extremely common on these since they are very, very soft (2 on the Mohs scale). But they are as clear as glass - you can read through the largest crystal with no distortion even though it is 3.5 cm thick!
