Item Description
A stunning, 7.0 cm, water-clear, well-striated, doubly terminated, tabular gypsum crystal is aesthetically perched on the 3-dimensional, nubby, gray to creamy, stalactitic CABINET calcite matrix on this exceptional combination specimen from Naica. Very seldom will you see a matrix gypsum of this over-the-top quality from Naica. The selenite is pristine, rare for such a soft mineral. Ex Jason New Collection (noted for his Mexico material). MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! This is really superb. not the typical selenite! Valued $750
