Description :
These are the prismatic, glassy crystals — the ones with sharp points and good clarity. Transparent to milky Six‑sided prism shape Hard, glassy luster Often grows in clusters A large, elongated quartz point with a slight yellow tint at the base Smaller individual points A compact quartz cluster with intergrown crystals Quartz forms in cavities where silica‑rich water cools slowly, letting the crystals grow into those classic shapes. Selenite is a form of gypsum — soft, silky, and often forming in blade‑like crystals.
The “fish tail” variety forms when two selenite blades grow together in a V‑shape. Soft, silky sheen Bladed or fan‑shaped crystals Often forms twinned shapes (like a fishtail) Softer than quartz — scratches easily Disclaimer:

I do my best to describe each specimen accurately, but I am not a certified geologist, and some assessments may be incorrect.
