Item Description

An exceptionally sharp, dramatic and pristine, CABINET-sized, twinned orthoclase crystal from the Organ Mountains of New Mexico. This lustrous, flesh-colored crystal is complete all-around. The upper portion of the sides have very nifty, stepped growth. A most interesting United States orthoclase crystal from the Tom Massis and Dave Stoudt Collections. I have never seen another quite like it from here, in this size and quality. Valued $400
