Item Description

Naica is known to have produced some outstanding anhydrite specimens and this is certainly one. Lustrous, translucent, pastel-blue blades with white tips in fan-like, parallel-growth clusters comprise this dramatic and superb LARGE CABINET jackstraw piece. The fans are up to 10.5 cm long. For such a complex specimen, there is very minimal damage. The composition of this piece is just fabulous and would certainly add character to any collection! One of the very best Naica anhydrites I have ever seen. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! Valued at $1500-2000.
