Item Description
A killer large combination specimen from the Himalaya Mine! A sharp, euhedral, bone-colored, microcline crystal is beautifully accented by the well-placed, 2.8 cm, gem, pink pencil tourmaline crystal. Bladed cleavelandite is draped on one side, with scattered clusters on other faces. The etched microcline by the tourmaline REALLY adds drama, as does the microcline triangle at the base of the piece. And backside has a 2.9 cm smoky quartz crystal. Microcline specimens of this sharp giant size and quality of accessories are just not that common. A must for the locality or species collector. 14.3 pounds or 6.5 kilos. Valued $2500
