Anhydrite w/ Calcite (Bartels Coll.)

Item Description

A beautiful light blue-grey two-sided crystal group of lustrous, translucent, parallel-growth Anhydrite blades with excellent striated form and a good termination. Such an elegant form and beautiful color for a mineral that is not often found in fine crystallized examples. Some of the best pieces of Anhydrite in the world are found at Naica. A bonus on the back are the scattered tiny, gemmy, colorless calcite scalenohedrons. Excellent Naica anhydrite with an accessory from the Ted Bartels Collection.
