Item Description
Textbook sharp, beige-colored albite variety pericline crystals are covered with sparkly chlorite microcrystals and form a showy and excellent specimen from the famous Warren Brothers Quarry of Massachusetts. The dominating large pericline crystal is 4.0 cm. In good overall shape, with some periphery wear noted. Classic material from this locale from the Schlichter Collection. And a VERY good albite, in any case!
