Item Description

RARE and amazing large gypsum from the famous sulfur mines of Agrigento. This incredible tabular crystal has a fabulous spearpoint termination that compliments the stunning water-clear, well-striated crystal with silky waxy luster. This stunning crystal is partially doubly terminated, as part of the other end is lightly contacted. Complete all-around and in great shape for such a large example of a very soft mineral. Modest scuffing on the sides and termination have minimal impact to the overall outstanding and rare quality of this large gypsum. Undoubtedly older material, but no proof. Classic and impressive Agrigento gypsum. From a Barcelona, Spain collection.
