This is a magnificent, large, tabular crystal of glassy and gemmy aphthitalite thanks to its superb crystallization along with its glassy and gemmy appearance. Although the crystal is colorless, a few faint phantoms can be discerned, paralleling the outline of the crystal. Other than the insignificant contact at the base of the crystal this is a world class specimen of an uncommon species. Truly beautiful!
