Description

A classic aragonite specimen from Spain, featuring well-terminated, endpointed crystals with excellent luster and a rich, attractive coloration, all beautifully set on a contrasting gypsum matrix. The aragonite crystals show clean growth and sharp definition, while the association with gypsum adds depth and visual contrast, creating a well-balanced and highly aesthetic composition. This combination is characteristic of Spain’s classic aragonite occurrences and makes the piece a visually striking addition to any systematic or classic-locality-focused collection.
