Item Description
A spectacular, large, doubly terminated Feldspar variety adularia crystal aesthetically rests on a bed of smaller, sharp crystals on this impressive large piece from a classic Swiss locale. The green chlorite coating really adds color and character. A modest bit of bruising and periphery wear are noted, which is certainly acceptable in the context of this importance as a large specimen. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection. Mass is 9.5 pounds or 4.3 kilos.
