Item Description
A superb and dramatic, large 360-degree specimen from the Bob Trimingham Collection. An impressive, complete all-around and nearly pristine sharply terminated, corroded orthoclase crystal has an amazing frontal view. Pearlescent muscovite plates look like a uplifted dragon's head and body! Two other sides host cleavelandite blades and isolated quartz crystals. A small contacted area is noted by the quartz crystals on the back. For shear pizzaz and drama, this large combination pegmatite specimen hard to beat! Each side presents an entirely different perspective. Linopolis specimens of this size and quality are rare. 1534 grams or 3.4 pounds mass. Value???
