Item Description
A classic, older CABINET specimen from the famous Rhone Glacier of Switzerland. This aesthetic, two-sided specimen features a stacked cluster of sharp, twinned, orthoclase variety adularia crystals coated with chlorite on a plate of adularia. The large twin is 6.1 cm across. Nearly pristine, so very minor and trivial edgewear is certainly not a detraction. Uncommonly fine quality from this noted locale. Ex Robert Sullivan Collection and comes with his faded label. Valued $750
