Item Description
This is a RARE, impressively sharp and well-formed, 360-degree Carlsbad-twinned orthoclase crystal from the famous Erongo Mountains. A dramatically placed 5.3 cm, lustrous, translucent, terminated quartz crystal with frosted stepped-growth faces is a superb accessory to the moderately lustrous light tan crystal. Complete all-around. The lower outside face of the orthoclase is a contact, but has very minimal impact to the overall exceptional quality of this RARE style orthoclase from the Erongos. Great textbook example of the twin habit. Ex Kurt Hefendehl Collection.
