Large Gypsum Clusters
At a dealer booth in the Quartzite Rock and Gem show this year, this specimen showing clusters of the "sand" crystals, about 8" tall and 12" wide! The previous photo shows another large piece of gypsum with classic "desert rose" clusters. Hard to imagine "sand" looking like this in a hard rock cluster. These specimens are sturdier to the touch than you might think.
