Naica is a noted locality for excellent specimens of anhydrite. This is an excellent, two-sided spray of pearly, translucent, faintly grey-blue anhydrite lathes. Fairly common 10 or 20 years ago, they are now much less so. One side has an overgrowth of secondary anhydrite and small quartz crystals. Ex. Consie Prince dealer stock.
