Description

Austrian gypsum is rather unusual in the first place. This very specimen displays a couple of dozens of elongated gypsum crystals on grey gypsum-clay matrix matrix. Crystals are well developed, mostly transparent and with good luster. Several crystals displays a swallowtail twin.

I have sporadically spotted on the market, especially on that size. This specimen comes in great conditions also given the age, as it comes from the former collection Kasper (CH), dated back to the 70s.

Delicate. It will be packed carefully and accordingly, although some peripheral crystals might fall off.
