Item Description

This very strange glassy, stepped-growth, orthoclase variety adularia crystal has a faden line running down the middle, something I thought only happened with quartz!? It is a complete, very gemmy, light pastel-green crystal and has a lot of appeal for the sharp crystal habit, even aside from the internal faden line. There are even a few green needles of actinolite variety byssolite included in the crystal! Very rare from this locality. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Much better in person!
