Gypsum (GEM twins) (floater specimen)

Item Description

When I first saw this material, I thought that that they were some of the most impressive, flashy and colorful specimens of Gypsum I have seen in years. This specimen consists of a "ball" of excellent, razor-sharp, golden color, crystals of Gypsum which play host to a few GEM quality, soft golden-yellow color "fish-tail" twin measuring up to 2.6 cm aesthetically perched atop. This "floater" crystal formed in a calcium clay/sediment and has no point of attachment whatsoever. The color is very attractive for the species as well. The material is typically very fluorescent as well! Another important aspect of this specimen is that it is NOT repaired, which makes a difference with this material, as many were glued back together. Don't miss out on what I'm sure will be considered a Canadian "classic" in years to come. Valued at $750 in the inventory for size, form, aesthetics and superior quality.
