Description

A fascinating pseudomorph of Gypsum that has replaced the original Glauberite crystal, retaining razor-sharp form - the result looking like something man-made or a crystal model in a textbook. It is a pristine floater. This is an old and very unusual Arizona specimen.This Photo was Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 12th Oct 2009.
