Item Description
Mineral specimens of any type are RARE from this obscure California locality. A sharp, 2.8 cm tall, tan, classic, Carlsbad-twinned orthoclase crystal is jauntily set in the granite porphyry matrix. This rare piece displays well without aid. Old-time material from the Bob Trimingham Collection and purchased from Frazier's Minerals in 1966. A MUST for the locality or species collector!
