A **superb**, water-clear and sharply formed, triangular gypsum crystal from an unusual locality for the species. Despite Mahrashtra's immense mineral specimen wealth, gypsum is quite rare there; Mindat lists just two confirmed localities. In addition to being a top-notch gypsum crystal, the specimen also boasts a rare association: the crystals along the base are gyrolite. This little jewel is in perfect condition. Note: Although this specimen looks like calcite, it fails to produce a vigorous reaction with dilute hydrochloric acid.
