Item Description

Unusual and rare, exceptionally gemmy for the species, skewed spearpoint-shaped albite crystals are dramatically lined up in parallel-growth on the sharp, blocky, pearlescent, albite crystal plate on this very fine, aesthetic and uncommon specimen from the Shigar Valley. A single, 2.0 cm, layered, transparent, bi-colored muscovite plate adds to the panache of this excellent piece. All of the many, gemmy albites are pristine and are up to 1.7 cm long.
