Description: Gypsum (Var.: Selenite) Locality: Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain (Locality at mindat.org) An extremely showy specimen featuring a sharp, water-clear, pristine, lustrous selenite crystal dramatically rising vertically from its matrix. The water-clear nature of the crystal is amazing. This Spanish locality, Roden, is now defunct and these are seldom available in such quality. Al would have bought this one at the peak of the area's productivity. Sadly, I haven't seen one this good for sale in several years as they dried up on the market so quickly. 5.5 x 4.9 x 4.5 cm
