Anhydrite (rare material) (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

A rarely seen specimen of the elusive Anhydrites from the world-famous Sunnyside Mine in Colorado. This piece hosts several white/cream colored botryoidal aggregates of Anhydrite which are sitting on white Quartz matrix with accenting pink Rhodochrosite. One of the very few piecs of this material that I have handled, and exceptionally rare on the market. This particular piece was mined in 1968 by Max Gallegos, and was acquired by Richard Kosnar in the early 1990s, and later became part of Brian Kosnar's collection. A great representative specimen of Anhydrite with most unusual form!
