A 6.3 cm, twinned gypsum crystal having good clarity sits atop a rock matrix, accented by several smaller discoid gypsum crystals. This gypsum is in superb condition, especially considering the softness (Mohs hardness 2) of this mineral. The locality is better known for stibnite and cinnabar; gypsum (especially of this quality) is unusual. Of the 65 mineral specimen photos hosted at Mindat for the locality, none include gypsum. Accompanied by a previous dealer label with a $125 price.
