This Special Pink Halite formation is a stunning Pink Colour which comes from microscopic organisms called Halobacteria that trap light-absorbing pigments.

Size: W8.7m x H3.6cm x D6cm

The edges of hopper crystals are fully developed, but the interior spaces are not filled in. This results in what appears to be a hollowed out step lattice formation, as if someone had removed interior sections of the individual crystals In fact, the "removed" sections never filled in, because the crystal was growing so rapidly that there was not enough time (or material) to fill in the gaps.

Originates from Searles Lake in California.
