Item Description
Intergrown, large and sharp, micocline crystals of this size and quality are uncommon from the famed Himalaya Mine and this is an outstanding example. The lustrous, sharply terminated cream-colored crystals are dramatically enhanced by the horizontal layering and vugginess. The large crystal is 14.3 cm. Scattered rosettes of pearlescent cleavelandite blades and lavender lepidolites crystals are super accents. Complete all-around and pristine. Rare and superb microcline with 360-degree viewability. A MUST for the San Diego County pegmatite collector. Valued $2500
