Anhydrite (UK)

A piece of anhydrite from Staffordshire, UK. Anhydrite, a calcium sulfate mineral and it forms in evaporite deposits where seawater or saline lakes evaporate, or in hydrothermal veins alongside minerals like gypsum or halite. Historically, it was used as a drying agent in some cultures and occasionally as a minor ornamental stone in ancient trade.

It comes with a display stand, as pictured, and a small card featuring the mineral's name, origin and its chemical formula. Please note, this anhydrite has a naturally "dusty" surface texture.

This is genuine geological sample. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
