A huge, shield-shaped solid mass of intergrown spheres composed of highly lustrous and translucent, vivid lemon yellow, brucite, to 3.3 cm across. The specimen is flattened and is emplaced on slivers of matrix. Fascinating "halo" like look, makes this a large and imposign specimen for the price! It displays vertically, and is nicely translucent so that it glows when backlit.
