Item Description

Three beautiful, water-clear, sharply terminated, light amber to colorless gypsum spearpoints, to 3.8 cm, are aesthetically set on the mounded matrix of massive gypsum alabaster covered with sparkly tiny gypsum crystals. Nearly pristine, with only gentle bruising to the tip of the large blade, which is certainly only a modest detraction. Gypsum crystals from here are considered to be some of the finest in world and this is an excellent classic 270-degree specimen. Ex Ernie Schlichter Collection.
