Gypsum
specimen number:
1501847
location:
Punta Rossa stope, Cape Calamita Mine, Capoliveri, Elba Island, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy
description:
Orange needlelike translucent crystals of gypsum measuring to 6.0 cm in length, most around 3.0 to 3.5 cm in length, scattered over the front of a 29.0 x 18.0 x 15.0 cm matrix. Minimal damage present, I think in very good condition considering the size and number of crystals present. Shipping weight: 12.98 pounds. This one will likely shed a few very minor crystals in transit, but should arrive as seen in the photo. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
Size: 29.0 x 18.0 x 15.0 cm (large-cabinet)
