Item Description
A sharply terminated, nearly snow-white, microcline monolith dramatically projects upward and is aesthetically surrounded by a 1.1 cm, light blue aquamarine crystal, glassy quartz crystals to 4.7 cm, and albite, muscovite and schorl crystals. The microcline tower is complete all-around and pristine. A broken microcline crystal is noted at the base, but is a modest detraction in the overall context of this dramatic CABINET specimen. Fine quality combination material from an uncommon Pakistan locale.
