A large, composite, bright yellow crystal of brucite is attached to and actually seems to be wrapped around a sliver of matrix included within. It is complete all around! Part of the crystal is lustrous and translucent, especially at the edges. This seems to be a floater, complete all around! If in isolation from the pocket and quantity here, I'd value it much higher as a rarity for the species. But within the context of this surprising and large find, even so, it still merits special consideration. exceptional color.
