Item Description

A superb and pristine doubly terminated, tabular, floater, Carlsbad-twinned orthoclase crystal, that has been pseudomorphed by soft kaolinite. Those are tiny sparkly flecks of muscovite embedded in the sides. Very choice large material from the Bob Trimingham Collection. "The largest of a flat of xls available."
