Item Description

Naica is known to have produced some outstanding anhydrite specimens and this is an showy large example. A dense jackstraw cluster of fans of parallel-growth, translucent blades with pretty light, ice-blue color is richly overgrown with a secondary growth on smaller anhydrite crystals and sparkly calcite rhombs as a nice accent. For such crystal density, this piece is surprisingly in great shape. Classic, highly representative material for the combination species and famed locale. This fine piece 360-degree visual appeal. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
