Item Description

A superb and spectacular bladed cluster of sand-included gypsum blades from an unknown locality in Tunisia. This is a fabulous, 360 degree specimen, with every turn being distinctly different. The white coatings are a dramatic compliment to the translucent brown blades. Each end of the large blade looks hollow and etched, and are filled with smaller gypsum, with great effect. Complete all-around and pristine, amazing for such a soft mineral. The sculptural beauty of this amazing specimen is incredible. Truly natural art to the highest degree. Ex Al Ordway Collection.
