Cactus Selenite (Gypsum) - Location: West Side of Great Salt Lake Utah. Large Miniature (see photo for more details). Here we have another aesthetic specimen of cactus selenite from the west side of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. We found a small low lying area that had been flooded by water that overflowed earlier in the year from the Great Salt Lake. As the water evaporated selenite crystals precipitated out and coated the branches of varies small trees and bushes. The result was some very aesthetic specimens of selenite resembling in shape and form a miniature \'cacti\' (hence the name \'cactus selenite\')! The selenite crystals are well-formed and very sharp and range in color from basically white (colorless) to a light peach color (in this case the crystals are basically colorless to off-white). The crystals are small but mostly gemmy and lustrous. So far as I can tell this \'new\' habit for selenite is unique to this small isolated area in Utah.
