Item Description
Mineral specimens from this obscure New Hampshire pegmatite are rare and are very seldom on the market and this an outstanding combination example. A 3.0 cm, sharply terminated, lustrous, translucent, honey-yellow, heliodor crystal is jauntily attached to the side of massive albite. Adding character, a 3.2 cm, book of pearlescent muscovite is attached to the other end of the albite. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Choice and rare material from the Schlichter Collection. A must for the species or locality collector.
