Item Description
A sharply terminated, pristine, complete-all-around, lustrous, off-white Microcline crystal with textbook crystal faces dominates this fine piece from the find around 2006-2007 in Pakistan. A couple of the faces are preferentially overgrown by lustrous and transparent Microcline, with very nice effect. These are some of the finest Microclines found from any locality in recent years. Minor mica can be seen near the base of the specimen. Ex Herb Obodda.
