Description

Group of twinned "hourglass" and "fish tail" gypsum crystals. Specimen with very good transparency, colorless and doubly terminated (the crystal is exfoliated in the middle so that the clay inclusions can be seen with great precision). It comes from the famous Lake Gilles in South Australia. The crystal is floating and its transparency allows us to see the inclusions of arrow-shaped clay particles. Lake Gilles produces some of the most unusual gypsum crystal shapes in the world.
