Item Description

At 14 pounds and half a meter (1.8 feet) in length, this is but a small, tiny example of a gypsum sword from the famous Cave of Swords gypsum finds. It is a huge crystal by any other reasonable standard of sanity, to which we measure crystal sizes! Long on display in the Rice Museum, this is a very neat talking point. It is not quite pristine, and a bit rough at the terminations - as one would expect for its age and softness. But, it is a complete crystal, formerly on display in the Rice Museum.
