Transparent galliskiite crystals coating fracture surface in matrix. Crystals are elongated and platy, and some display an almost pearly luster, resembling gypsum. Galliskiite is difficult to discern due to its transparency, so some crystals here are indicated by arrows on one of the daughter photos. Field of view 1.6 mm. Collection and photograph Norman King.
