Item Description

Dozens of cream/white Orthoclase crystals are associated with prismatic slightly Smoky Quartz measuring up to 2.0 from the famous locality at Baveno. The main Quartz crystal is not broken, it just has a multi-pointed termination. This area lends its name to "Baveno" twinned Feldspar crystals, and is one of the most well known Feldspar localities in the world.
