Item Description

Textbook, sharp, pretty pastel-pink orthoclase crystals are aesthetically set on the large matrix plate of mostly albite on this very showy and excellent combination from this well-known Spanish pluton. The impressive large crystal is 4.5 cm tall and the scattered smoky quartz crystals are a nice accent. This RARE and outstanding combination example from the Sanabria Collection was illustrated on page 64 of the April, 2008 issue of Spanish mineral magazine Bocamina, which was devoted entirely to the La Cabrera Pluton.
