Item Description
Gorgeous, glassy, golden-amber, gypsum blades comprise this striking, sculptural, solid CABINET crust of gypsum from the Las Salinas deposit of Peru. A single, 1.3 cm, classic, fishtail-twinned crystal prominently juts out from one corner. A bit of edgewear is noted to this beautiful specimen, but is certainly a modest detraction. One of the better specimens we have seen from this locale. Ex Robert Fender Collection.
