Gypsum (Var: Selenite) : Ca[SO4] · 2H2O

Pernatty Lagoon, Mt Gunson, Stuart Shelf area, Andamooka Ranges - Lake Torrens area, South Australia, Australia

Spectacular in person, this is a large plate of sparkling starbursts of gemmy selenite crystals, from Australia. The overall form is wonderful, and the face is quite 3-dimensional, with the starburst piled up in places to form hillocks. Wonderful! 15 x 11.5 x 3.5 cm

Pernatty Lagoon, Mt Gunson, Stuart Shelf area, Andamooka Ranges - Lake Torrens area, South Australia, Australia

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

14.8 x 3.0 x 2.9 cm. This unique Australian specimen hardly looks real! It is a stalactite covered with gemmy crystals of selenite, which have been tinted this gorgeous grass green from copper.
