Description

A spectacular specimen of gypsum crystals in an alabaster gypsum geode from this famous Spanish deposit, which has yielded some of the finest specimens in Spain and perhaps in Europe.

The piece was extracted by the deposit's owner in the early 2000s and now comes from the personal collection of Joaquín López.
The piece is very fragile, and although we will wrap it perfectly, some crystals may still detach. This is quite normal for this type of piece, and we wish to inform any potential buyer to avoid future claims.

As can be seen in the last two photographs, this piece reacts under long-wave ultraviolet light
