Description: Gypsum (Var.: Gypsum)

Locality: Pernatty Lagoon, Mt Gunson, Stuart Shelf area, Andamooka Ranges - Lake Torrens area, South Australia, Australia (Locality at mindat.org) Okay, this specimen was very difficult to shoot, so PLEASE NOTE that the interior crystals are NOT deep green but actually the lighter green of the smaller photo. What a beautiful specimen this is, an intact pocket of rounded crystal blooms! The back was sawn flat to cut this pocket out of the matrix of massive gypsum. 9.4 x 7.2 x 3.9 cm
