Item Description
A striking and impressive LARGE CABINET plate of large and lustrous, rhombohedral crystals of valencianite, a unique variety of porcelain-white adularia (orthoclase) named after this famed mine at Guanajuato. Unique locality material, and seldom seen today! Their size for this locality is pretty good, but it is the richness and overall size of the specimen that makes the piece significant. Such pieces are few and far between, today and many are very old. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection # 962.
