Item Description

Striking pseudomorphs of quartz after wedge-shaped tapered blades of anhydrite are dramatically and richly set on the large very sculptural elongated undulating basalt matrix. The fantastic large pseudo is 4.0 cm. The pseudos rest on a bed of tiny amethyst crystals and there are more quartz crystals attached to the bottom of the piece, adding color and pizzazz. Anhydrite is RARE from the famous basalt deposits at Irai. A fascinating and rare 360-degree combination specimen. Two of the three large blades are pristine. It has multiple fine display views and looks like a dragon with very large ears!
