Item Description
The pegmatites around Jefferson County, Montana have produced some interesting and attractive specimens in recent years. This piece is a worthwhile, sharp, full miniature sized, stout, creamy colored Microcline crystal with the classic "Baveno" twin habit. Sharp faces, good crystallization and above average luster make for one of the better Microclines from this area that I've seen. If you're a Feldspar collector, a collector of Montana minerals, or U.S. miniatures this is a great one to add to your collection. From the Bob Trimingham collection #T-17713
