Item Description

A nifty, sculptural and uncommon adularia specimen from the "Alpine-type" deposits at Alchuri and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Three prominent "fadens" or strings are clearly visible in the water-clear, tabular adularia crystal. The central white string is adularia with the two flanking strings being uncommon strings of tiny green to tan byssolite fibers. Complete all-around and pristine, with both ends being contacted against the walls of the vug. Excellent, two-sided and rare combination material in this quality from this locale.
