Smoky Quartz with Adularia (twin) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

From the famous Swiss locality best known for its world class Hematites, here we have a great thumbnail display piece featuring sharp, lustrous, gemmy, light smoky colored Quartz crystals that play host to a superb, sharp, lustrous, off-white colored twinned group of Adularia (K-Feldspar) with individual crystals measuring up to 1.1 cm. Great aesthetics and the association is wonderful even in this smaller size. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#2140). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
