Gypsum var. Selenite
Just about anyone in the mineral collecting hobby is familiar with the mesmerizing and aptly named Selenite (or Gypsum) Roses. Despite their abundance in today's market, there are only a handful of Gypsum roses that are truly exceptional for their integrity and aesthetic presentations. This is one such piece, presenting eleven interconnecting and near-pristine spheres of bladed Selenite crystals (up to 6.9 centimeters in diameter) that climb upward in a wonderfully staggered column. Characteristically, each crystal is a sandy brown color that is sharply bordered by a thin, white ridge. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
