Beautiful golden-yellow, clear glassy crystals of Legrandite to 8 mm extend out from the matrix in clusters on layered Limonitic matrix, with the open spaces showing even more crystals tucked away.

This is a larger plate with good coverage of Legrandite and although there are some dings to the larger cluster of crystals (pictured in the pop-ups), it was no doubt unavoidable to expose the crystals.
