Item Description
A textbook sharp, ivory-colored pericline crystal is covered on both sides with sparkly chlorite microcrystals and forms a striking and aesthetic specimen from the famous Warren Brothers Quarry of Massachusetts. The flat top of the pericline crystal is noteworthy. In excellent shape, with only trivial periphery wear at the base. Contacting on the back is out of sight. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Classic material from this locale from the Schlichter Collection. And a VERY good albite, in any case! Valued $200-300.
