This simple specimen consists of two orbicular globules of Gyrolite in a hollow in a basalt base rock. The orbs have a white color, dull luster, and are translucent. One measures 0.8"(2.0 cm) in diameter and a smaller one adjacent to it has a diameter of 0.3"(8 mm). The larger one has a very regular shape that resembles an almost perfect hemi-sphere, whereas the smaller one is less complete. A small impact scar on the larger orb makes up the extent of the visible damage. I don't think I have seen a better example of Gyrolite than this specimen.
