Item Description
A classic, textbook sharp, bi-colored Carlsbad-twinned orthoclase crystal from the Cabrera pluton near Madrid. The 360-degree crystal has bone-white faces with complementary porcelaneous flesh-pink faces. Tiny speckles of bladed green and black-brown minerals add contrast. AND, one face hosts patches of pastel-yellow hyalite opal, a RARE occasional accessory, that fluoresces neon-green. An outstanding and sharp orthoclase combination crystal from the Sanabria Collection.
