Anhydrite w/ Calcite (Belsky Coll.)

Item Description

Naica is known to have produced some outstanding anhydrite specimens and this is a very fine and artistic combination example. One side is composed of parallel-growth, translucent, fan-like blades with pretty light, ice-blue color. The other sides are totally different! A striking mounded dense nest of tiny, snow-white, dogtooth calcite crystals rests against a dramatic, 4.7 cm perpendicular blade. And there are numerous tiny celestines scattered about. Classic, highly representative and sculptural large, 360-degree material for the species and famed locale. Ex. Howard Belsky Collection.
