Description

Sculptural group of textbook monoclinic gypsum crystals freely grown atop of finely crystalized brassy pyrite. The specimen is positions on a labelled dark plastic base with some tack, and it can be easily removed.

A classic oldtimer specimen, this specific one is on the higher segment of the Niccioleta gypsums, and it even comes with an Italian label dated back to 1971.

Tempted to add it to my collection, I thought to give the opportunity to other collectors here first.
