Item Description
Intergrown sand-included gypsum crystals form a sculptural and impressive large 360-degree piece from the well-known Great Salt Plains at Jet, Oklahoma. The flattened matte lustre crystals reach 8.8 cm on this striking specimen. Complete all-around with only a few bruised/broken edges. Certainly a minimal detraction to this showy piece. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974. Probably older material from the 1970s or 80s, but no proof.
