Item Description
This rare, showy, large combination is from the Alpine-type clefts of the well-known Tormiq Valley. "Books" of lustrous, hexagonal biotite plates are aesthetically set on the sculptural matrix of sharp, translucent, pearlescent K-feldspar variety Adularia crystals. The impressive large biotite book is 6.1 x 5.0 x 3.0 cm. Ex Kurt Hefendehl Collection. Biotite specimens are VERY RARE from any of the over 30 localities in Pakistan listed by MINDAT for the species. There are NO biotite photographs in the MINDAT Photo Gallery for Pakistan. Perhaps a unique, very showy and excellent large Biotite and Adularia combination from Pakistan - it is also just a beautiful specimen in its own merits.
