Orthoclase var. Adularia on Quartz w/ Byssolite

Item Description

A dramatic CABINET combination specimen of large, sharp, orthoclase variety adularia crystals strikingly set on a glassy quartz crystal shard from recent finds in the Tormiq Valley of Pakistan. The translucent and lustrous crystals are included-with and preferentially coated with green chlorite. The smaller, right-hand crystal has a nifty, small tuft of soft, hair-like byssolite fibers on the termination. Byssolite is a variety of actinolite. The adularia crystals are in excellent condition and photo of the back shows the huge size of the larger adularia crystal.
