Gypsum on Quartz

Item Description

Gem, glassy, colorless sharply terminated gypsum crystals are very aethetically clustered on this sculptural, classic small cabinet from Naica. The impressive dominating crystal at the top is about 4.0 cm and the crystals have both water-clear and striated satin lustre faces, adding character. The crystals are strikingly attached to a laminated quartz crust, adding unusual character. The many crystals are pristine, except for the acceptable periphery wear. Uncommonly fine artistic quality for such a soft mineral species. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
