Item Description
Very large, well-developed single crystal of the sulfate Bloedite. Slate grey in color, the luster ranges from a matte finish to very good nearer the terminations. Formed in the evaporite deposits of the Estancia Salt District, it is one of the larger Blodites that I have seen. (Blodite, more properly, with an umlaut over the "o")
