Massive Synchysite permeates this hand specimen, though it is rather difficult to isolate for study. The material has a dull, pale yellow-gray color and a pearly to vitreous luster and is transparent and at least dimly clear. It is rather thoroughly mixed with a few other minerals and materials, however, and no one of them could be considered a host material.
