Item Description

A classic specimen of the famous golden Gypsum (Selenite) from Las Salinas. The piece hosts a few predominant, very sharp, GEM quality, lustrous, thin, "fish-tail"-twinned crystals of Gypsum which are associated with dozens of "disc"-like blades of golden Gypsum sitting on white/colorless, cubic, gemmy, Halite crystals on matrix. The large Gypsum twin measures 4.5 cm long and is in very good shape for the material. A beautiful display specimen of this now hard to find material. Priced at $2400. PLEASE NOTE: This piece is a bit heavy, and will require an additional shipping charge, keep this in mind when bidding.
