Item Description

A beautiful specimen from the world famous Pederneira Mine which is best known for its world-class Tourmalines. This piece features gorgeous, high quality crystallized "rosettes" of attractive white Albite (var: "Cleavelandite") with individual blades measuring up to 2.8 cm across. The piece is mostly Albite on the front / display side, but the reverse side of the piece features very attractive groups of contrasting purple Lepidolite and a few very gemmy glowing pink color crystals of Rubellite Tourmaline. Excellent condition on the display side, and you have to take into account that this is really fine quality crystallized Feldspar.
