An unusual Naica selenite specimen, in that instead of being clear of whitish, it has some color to it from limonite inclusions, and a sharp PHANTOM that shows up well in the center due to a richer level of this inclusion. Smaller crystals are all over the limonite matrix. From the well-known California collection of Charles Hansen.
