Item Description
An impressive, very fine, complete all-around microcline crystal from the famous Himalaya Mine. Specimens of this geometric quality are rarely available and come from insider collections. The crystal has a sharp, chisel termination and is lustrous. The contact has no damage, per se. In fact, two tiny indicolites are are visible in the contact area. Cleavelandite, muscovite and quartz are noted around the base as nice accents. Ex Maury Morgenstein Collection, an oldtime San Diego miner. Valued $750
