The Selenite crystals found at the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge are unique and can only be found there. They look like an hourglass. The crystals have two brown to yellowish-brown triangles on either side making them look just like an hourglass. They're fairly easy to find and very unusual and beautiful. Conditions at the salt plain cause the crystals to form and have their signature "hourglass" shape and coloration.
