| 12164: Halite and Gypsum - $30 Lubin, Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland Small cabinet - 7.4 x 7.3 x 4.3 cm 79 grams Fluorescent (SW) Specimen status: Reserved Send an email with specimen number to order Stacked, colorless halite cubes to
about 1 cm with a few colorless, transparent selenite
gypsum blades, these to about 1.5 cm in length. The halite
displays intense orange fluorescence under shortwave UV.
The matrix is thin and concave, hollow on the underside of
the specimen. Sits perfectly for display and in superb
condition. Halite has a reputation for instability (most
likely due to impurities); I have owned this sample since
2010 and it shows no signs of decay.
