| 36719: Gypsum (penetration twin) - $8 Locality unknown Small cabinet - 6.7 x 6.0 x 2.8 cm 55 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order An X-shaped gypsum crystal rendered tan
and opaque by sand inclusions. A penetration twin;
although twinning is common in gypsum, penetration twins
are fairly rare. A previous dealer label gives the
location as the Great Salt Plains in Oklahoma, but
the color of the inclusions clearly indicate this locality
assignment is incorrect. Maybe Algeria or Tunisia...? Superb condition.
