Description:Adularia is another one of the gem quality Feldspars and is actually a variety of Orthoclase. The material is often found in "Alpine-type" formations but rarely in gem quality crystals. This stone is from the famous Austrian Alps and would make for a very rare gem to add to your collection. These gems are simply not seen on the market, especially in this clarity ! Most Adularia crystals from this area are "milky" in appearance and have what's called "adularescence". This stone is virtually eye clean, and shows a VERY light blue sheen when rotated in the light. The stone has an "Emerald" cut. Gems of this clarity are not often seen on the market, especially from the classic Austrian Alps ! A great "collector" gem, and much more than just a colorless Feldspar.
