A cluster of translucent to opaque gypsum blades with a porcelainous texture. Ghostly white fluorescence; good under shortwave ultraviolet but brighter under longwave ultraviolet. Despite being the largest salt flat in the world, gypsum from this locality is rather scarce. This specimen is represented on Mindat. Pretty good condition for the species/locality.
