Item Description
A classic specimen of the famous golden Gypsum (Selenite) from Las Salinas. The piece hosts a predominant, very sharp, GEM quality, lustrous, thin, "fish-tail"-twinned crystal of Gypsum which is associated with a few "disc"-like blades of golden Gypsum sitting on white/colorless, gemmy, Halite crystal matrix. The main Gypsum twin measures 3.0 cm long and is in very good shape for the material. A beautiful display specimen of these now hard to find specimens.
