A variety of Anhydrite
A trade name for a semi-transparent light blue-grey fine-grained anhydrite marketed as a gem material from Peru. The local little lapidary factories in Lima made it into balls, eggs, "wands", animal carvings etc. The name first appeared as a new age/metaphysical name and had various "powers" attributed to it. As yet, the name has not been applied to anhydrite from any other locality.
