Item Description

Gypsum is EXTREMELY RARE and anglesite is very rare from the famous Erupcion Mine at Los Lamentos. The MINDAT photo gallery for the locale shows only 9 anglesite photos and 1 gypsum photo in their 881 photo collection! Lustrous, translucent, striated, tan anglesite blades, to 2.1 cm (doubly terminated), are richly and attractively embedded in all sides of the sparkly, glassy microcrystalline gypsum matrix. Rare and unique old-time combination material from the 1960s or 70s. Ex Edna Doughty and Richard Hauck Collections. A MUST for the Mexico or species collector.
