Item Description

Rare, translucent, lustrous, golden-yellow, orthoclase crystals to 2.8 cm richly cover the green Amphibole or Pyroxene Group crystal matrix on this excellent combination specimen from this famous New York locale. The bit of periphery wear has no impact to the importance of this undoubtably old-time rarity. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and obtained from Frazier's Minerals in 1975. A must for the species or locality collector.
