Description

Delicate, extremely rich gypsum var. selenite miniature from this classic Australian locale. Long needles, white to pale hazel clear, are delicately arranged as a drusy, witht he tips acting often as nucleation centres for smaller crystals. Good lustre for most gypsum crystals.

An oldtimer, certainly prior to 80s find, now very difficult to find in this size and quality.

It will be wrapped carefully, however buyer should account for some damage during shipping (which is out of my hands).
