Description

Incredible, very rare, due to its combination, but also and more importantly due to its very singular shape and formation as a geode. The pictures don't show properly the real depth of this specimen. A well sized geode consisting of a multitude of well formed, lustrous and sharp crystals of Gypsum, covering totally the inner part of a thick, vivid blue, and well crystallized type locality Serpierite outer layer, which is acting as the geode structural material itself. Superb piece
