Description

Big size aggregate of gypsum crystals with good transparency and without chippings. Self-collected in 04/2010 at Llano de Don Antonio, near the old gold Mine of “El Palaín”. The area is rich in sulphides, mainly pyrite, that have been strongly altered and leached, producing the precipitation of this kind of gypsum in the altered volcanic rocks, so some rounded inclusions can be seen as inclusions.
