Item Description

A beautiful "floater" crystal of Carlsbad-twinned Orthoclase (possibly a pseudomorph of Kaolinite after Orthoclase) from the locality at Melbur, Cornwall, England. The piece is complete all the way around with a beautiful egg-shell white color and good crystal form. Originally priced in our inventory at $500, but probably worth more today. Great old classic material from Cornwall.
