Item Description
Sharp, pearlescent, translucent, K-feldspar variety adularia crystals with sharp chisel terminations form a showy and aesthetic small cabinet from the Hachupa. The preferential dusting of chlorite on the terminations really adds character to this fine piece from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Crystals, some doubly terminated, reach 4.8 cm (largest). Herb valued this piece at $450, five or more years ago. Hachupa adularia specimens of this quality are uncommon and this is a really good one.
