Item Description

Sharp, pearlescent, translucent K-feldspar variety adularia crystals with sharp chisel terminations form a showy and aesthetic CABINET from the Hachupa. The preferential inclusions and dusting of chlorite on the crystals really adds pizzazz and color to this fine piece. The striking, doubly terminated, interpenetrating crystal with chlorite inclusions is 6.0 cm across The bit of noted periphery wear has no impact to the excellent quality of this piece. A very fine example from the Herb Obodda dealer stock and has several fine display views. Valued by Herb at $600, more than five years ago.
