Item Description
A beautiful crystallized specimen of Anhydrite from the Campiano Mine in Tuscany featuring sharp, well-formed, semi-lustrous, bladed white crystals measuring up to 2.1 cm, on minor matrix. Most of the crystals are in very good condition. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
