Item Description
Some of the worlds finest, if not the best, gypsum crystals have come from the Naica District of Mexico. This visually striking and sculptural LARGE CABINET specimen consists of intergrown, parallel-growth, water-clear, gem-like, spear-point crystals. The large crystal has gorgeous, twin-like striations on the sloped termination. The water-clear long, narrow dorsal feature (5 mm wide) on the large crystal is dramatic. Some bruising and contacting is noted, but remains a visually impressive example of the species and famous locale.
