Item Description
Exceptionally aesthetic cluster of gypsum (variety selenite) that seems almost as if it was machine-assembled from joining lustrous and translucent orange-amber colored discs. It is an amazing, unique specimen, and quite a famous piece. Besides, when have you ever seen a competition-worthy gypsum thumbnail specimen?! It will fit in a regulation thumbnail cube if oriented slightly diagonal, but it could also be displayed as a small miniature, standing true vertical.
