Item Description
An outstanding gypsum specimen from this noted locale, of classic habit. A gorgeous and superb floater cluster of radiating, glassy, water-clear, very light amber gypsum crystals with sharp spearpoint terminations and a few scattered clay inclusions from the famous Red River Floodway (a spillway cut, now off limits) of Manitoba, Canada. Essentialy pristine, with only the most trivial of edgewear on this beautiful piece. Ghostly white fluoresecne. Seldom on the market in this quality today, this is a particularly desired style. Excellent material from the Dr. Ed David Collection, with his number on the piece. Ed was Science Advisor to President Nixon and assembled several world-class collections. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! Valued at $1000-1250 for quality and provenance.
