A terminated gypsum crystal with an easily visible, mobile bubble in a fluid inclusion in the center. Very transparent; the mineral tac supporting the specimen from behind for photography is clearly visible. Made even cooler by its collection date, which a previous (although truncated) label indicates was 1950, when Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (The Shah) ruled. A few rough spots, otherwise this would be a $200 specimen.
