RM3532   Twinned and rounded gypsum

These selenite gypsum specimens show the "swallow tail" and reverse twinning. They show a certain transparence, which allows us to see the inclusions, and a good brilliance due to the natural polishing of the gypsum. The most interesting thing, in my opinion, is this rounded appearance due to the erosive action of the sea spray, since they appear in the clays of the Eocene cliffs. A very English curiosity from Jaime Murria's collection.

Size: 12.4 x 5.2 x 1.9 cm.
