Item Description
A classic and aesthetic, snow-white cluster of sharp adularia crystals from the famous Cristallina Valley of Switzerland. This pristine cutie was handled by a who's who of 3 of the top American mineral dealers of the 1930s to 1950s, as the three labels show. Ford's $2.50 price tag is still on the bottom of the piece dating from 1946-57! Not cheap for those days. The quality is there. ex Carlton Davis collection
