A sharp pseudomorph of Calcite after Glauberite. The green coloration is reportedly caused by dipping the crystals in a copper based solution.
This was would have been done many years ago as this was out of an old collection. The form on this one is spectacular, a complete undamaged floater
with crystals jutting out in all directions. There are smaller drusy white crystals of what looks like Selenite on the surface in areas. This is probably
the best one I've ever seen.
