Side Field Trip - SEPT. 10, 2000

Collecting selenite crystals.

The selenite crystals occurred on the tops of the hills in the foreground of this picture.

Close-up view of selenite crystals on the undisturbed 
hill tops.

Notice how these beautiful crystal pedals are
separated at the central terminus!  Whole
connected selenite flowers are difficult to find!

Different selenite specimens to scale.

Selenite specimens after the dirt has been removed.
