Item Description

A RARE and excellent old-timer from an obscure Colorado locality. Intergrown rosettes of thin-bladed, lustrous, translucent to transparent, tan, gypsum crystals form an aesthetic specimen. Nearly pristine for such a soft mineral, with only very trivial bruising and a couple of gently broken blade edges. Old-time material from the John L. Legro Collection (1841-1923). A MUST for the Colorado collector. Value???
