A group of bright, very sharp, amber-colored transparent crystals on a cream-colored matrix made of hardened mud riverbed. A small crystal on the right has "lifted" a matrix tongue to form. This sample is unusual as it consists of a bouquet of crystals whereas usually the crystals of this provenance are isolated.

Origin: Elk Creek, South Dakota, USA
