Gypsum (Stoudt Coll.)

Item Description

Dave Stoudt lived and worked in Poland for a number of years in the petroleum industry, and had the opportunity to obtain specimens from old and generally closed localities, in addition to some interesting contemporary things many of which did not reach the general market. This is a most impressive, 360-degree, spray, of stout, highly lustrous, transparent to translucent, golden-amber gypsum spearpoints. The large crystal is 7.0 x 5.8 cm. In great shape, overall, with just a trivial bit of bruising for such a soft mineral. Very uncommon and excellent material. Dave Stoudt obtained this piece at the Warsaw Mineral Show in November, 2000. Ex. Stoudt Collection.
