 | " A very fine, large, gemmy and lustrous, lemon-yellow ettringite crystal from the famous Nchwaning II Mine of South Africa. Pristine and complete all-around.
Ettringite is a beautiful and interesting mineral for collectors. It forms as a precipitate from hydrothermal solutions. It has a typically bright yellow color and a nice luster. For collectors who like good crystal formations, ettringite has that too. It will commonly form well shaped hexagonal prisms that are topped by a hexagonal pyramid, which in turn is often truncated by the flat face of a pinacoid."
