Gypsum var. Selenite on Siderite
Cavnic Mine, Cavnic, Maramures, Romania

An exceptional specimen from the historic Cavnic mining district in Romania. Sitting dramatically and at the center of the matrix is a sharp and clear Selenite crystal, which is doubly terminated ans 5.8 cm on edge. The crystal is both fronted and backed by smaller, doubly terminated Selenites. The matrix is brown, epimorphed Siderite, which contrasts in form and color adding to the aesthetics of the specimen. In very good condition.
