Item Description

A sculptural and aesthetic intergrown cluster of sharply terminated, pearlescent, translucent, adularia crystals from Hachupa. The preferential dusting and inclustions of chlorite really adds color and character to this fine piece from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Crystals, some doubly terminated, reach 4.7 cm. Herb valued this piece at $450, more than 6 years ago. Hachupa adularia specimens of this quality are uncommon and this is a really good one.
