Gypsum (RARE urban LA locale!) Kay Robertson Coll.

Item Description

Unique, RARE urban Los Angeles gypsum from Mandeville Canyon in the Brentwood area, near famous Mulholland Drive! The sculptural, translucent layered gypsum has very high waxy lustre on some faces and the embedded smaller gypsums add character and form to this 360-degree rarity. Ex Kay Robertson Collection # 5498 and acquired at a Christmas party in 1968! Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien-Welt" November-December 2017). Truly exotic, super rare and showy urban Los Angeles gypsum. Try to find another from the locale!
