JFD179AP1: Sorbas has been declared a protected natural area, but I collected this piece 13 years before that, in 1976. I still remember the beauty of the place and the ease with which it was possible to get specimens like this, with reddish Gypsum crystals colored by the red clays so characteristic of that place.

Specimen size: 8.6 × 5.6 × 4.9 cm = 3.39” × 2.20” × 1.93”
