Rich specimen displaying multi-generational Boracite crystallisation. The specimen matrix, formed from interlocking crystals, has first a layer of transparent crystals on it followed by clear edged, white centred pseudo tetragonal crystals and lastly smaller cream coloured pseudo-tetragonal crystals. Really interesting specimen. Boracite is orthorhombic, the colour deepening when viewed in incandescent lighting compared to daylight.
