Gypsum (var. Selenite) prismatic gemmy crystal
Fuentes de Ebra, Zaragoza
Aragon, Spain
3.3 x 2 x 1.8 (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $125
pre Tucson 2015 update
Glass clear and textbook sharp this is a small but super clean specimen from the alabaster quarries of Fuentes de Ebra. These are very fragile and so there are few that survive in such perfect condition. Since these are so distinctive they are found in many top collection but rarely are for sale in this quality. Unlike many this is not a twined crystal but a single prism that is optically clear.
