Description
Here we have a superb specimen of Gypsum from well known Peruvian locale Salinas de Otuma of Pisco Province. The well formed crystals are sharp and gemmy with this stunning amber-golden colour. Golden Selenite (Gypsum) from Peru sets an aesthetic masterpiece level for this species that is just hard to beat, and years later most of us still consider these to be the finest Gypsums overall for combination of colour and style. This is an elegant small cabinet specimen from the discoveries, from the early 2000s. The combination of sharp form, brilliant luster, and golden colour makes these the "jewels" of the Selenite world. These were once common for a brief while in the early 2000´s, but truly outstanding pieces like this were never available widely and were always expensive, even at the time they came out, compared to the average pieces with more clumped appearance. This is a KILLER PIECE all the way.
