Gypsum (Dr. Peter Megaw Coll.)

Item Description

Stunning, sharp, water-clear, doubly terminated tabular gypsum crystal from the famous Naica Mine. This outstanding waxy luster layered crystal is dramatically enhanced by the included gossan matrix and matrix embedded on the back of the piece. Complete all-around and pristine. A contact on the back where another crystal once lay, has no damage, per se. Amazing for such a soft mineral. Ex Dr. Peter Megaw Collection, noted Mexico specialist and author. An exceptional and uncommon single doubly terminated gypsum crystal of this quality, style and size from the Naica Mine. Valued at $850 on one of his past labels for exchange/deaccession. For the size, it is hard to get better - these are special things, not quite like other gypsums. They have a unique sharpness and character to them, when at their best quality.
