Item Description

Anhydrite is RARE from the famous basalt deposits at Irai. This is a very elegant fan-like spray of graduated-in-size RARE pseudomorphs of quartz after anhydrite blades aesthetically set on matrix. One side of the piece hosts a mounded cluster of small light lavender amethyst points, adding even more pizzazz to this very fine and sculptural rarity. A fascinating and rare 360-degree combination specimen, that is nearly pristine. Only one blade appears to be broken, but it's hard to tell. It has multiple fine display views.
