These denningite crystals are stacked. They start with clear blades on the left which turn to a dark brown, then a lighter brown at top right where they are cleaved as they were at the end of the vug. Some of the lighter brown denningites near the bottom of the photo avoided damage. Specimen and photo, Chuck Adan.
