Dominating this highly unusual mineral association specimen is a triangular, tabular, terminated, glassy and very water-clear gypsum gypsum crystal (variety selenite). At the base of the gypsum is a cluster of white microcline crystals, these partially coated in small chlorite roses. Several light green titanite crystals to 7 mm are also present. Ex Herb Obodda collection; his tag (which accompanies the specimen) bears a $1500 price. Gypsum is unusual at the locality; of the 424 Tormiq Valley mineral specimen photos hosted at Mindat, none include gypsum. The back of the gypsum is cleaved but this is inconsequential considering the unique mineral species assemblage on this specimen. The remainder of the specimen is in superb condition.
