Naica is known to have produced some outstanding anhydrite specimens and this is certainly one. Lustrous, translucent, pastel-blue blades with white tips in fan-like, parallel-growth clusters comprise this dramatic and superb large cabinet jackstraw piece. The fans are up to 10.5 cm long. One of the very best Naica anhydrites I have ever seen.
