An iconic piece from Arizona. Gypsum (selenite variety) with small remnants of limonitic matrix embedded in the Gypsum and also on the surface, and with some whitish cloudy areas which highlight inclusions of acicular crystals of Copper in dendritic growths with a very vivid reddish color, all perfectly visible thanks to the transparency of the Gypsum.
A pedigreed piece from the Dick Bideaux collection and the Ignacio Gaspar Sintes collection whose labels we will send to the buyer.
