A super fine and gorgeous cabinet specimen! Featuring a cluster of very glassy, golden colored Gypsum crystals surrounding Halite crystals. Eight perfect "swallowtail twin" shaped Gypsum crystals share a matrix of cubed Halite. From a recent find when acquired at the Tucson 2007 Show, this top shelf specimen is one of the most striking examples from all the ones that I looked at. I took many pictures to show you what this gem is all about, but believe it or not, it still looks better in person! Super pristine! |

PLEASE
NOTE: All of the photographs are not to scale. Some are enlarged to
give you an accurate and an in depth view of all the details for you
to see. Please always refer to specimen size in all my listings for
the actual size, as this is what the final price is based on. Although
picture colors can vary slightly from browsers to computers, I go to
great lengths in photographing all mineral specimens with complete color
accuracy, without any retouching whatsoever! My photo studio lighting
consists of 4800K fluorescent lighting, which simulates the wavelengths
of daylight. In some cases for a different effect I have utilized regular
incandescent lighting to provide a different effect. If a specimen has
knowingly been repaired, I will always disclose this information to
you. |
