Item Description

It was long in the personal collection of dealer Herb Obodda, who personally brought it out of Pakistan himself back in the aughts...A sharp crystal so fine that it is looking as if polished - that's how good this crystal is. It looks like porcelain! It has a very good translucence, whereas most of these look like "rocks." This is one of the best examples of a single, classic white Microcline feldspar that I have seen, particularly in its size range. Valued $1500-2000.
