Item Description

A superb specimen featuring excellent, very sharp, incredibly well-formed, soft grey-white colored "Baveno"-twinned crystals of Microcline associated with a Rhabdophane Group mineral (the specific species is not known, but it's either Rhabdophane-(Ce) or Rhabdophane-(La)), with a bit of associated Aegirine at the base. A really choice Microcline twin from this classic locality, and the added bonus of the rare Rhabdophane association makes it all the more enticing.
