Comment: This unique Australian specimen hardly looks real! It is a stalactite covered with gemmy crystals of selenite, which have been tinted this gorgeous grass green from copper. I cannot recall having ever seen a stalactite quite this PRETTY. NOTE: When you receive this, despite our best packing attempt there are sure to be some loose crystals in the package, as these little crystals are incredibly fragile and a few will surely come off, but you will not notice them amidst the thousands and it will detract nothing from the specimen or your money back
Minerals: Gypsum (CaSO4 2(H2O)) Selenite
