Item Description
This sharp feldspar twin is an antique, and from the most important and classic Alpine locality in Switzerland. It exhibits perfect textbook Manebach twinning, and is pristine. It is 114 years old or more. It looks like it was found on the day it was collected, although you could probably make it more bright and shiny with some iron-out chemistry. The old label is the style from the personal collection of F.J. Kessler (the label says Senator Kessler) in addition to an older label from the 1800s. Ex. Jingnan (Tom) Zhang Coll.
