Item Description
Pearlesent, sharp, albite prisms to 1.8 cm are festooned in the triangular-shaped, CABINET, vug in matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from an uncommon Austrian locale - Pfitsch Pass in North Tyrol, near the Italian border. Expertly collected, all of the crystals in the interior of the piece are pristine. A bit of modest periphery wear is noted, but is certainly not a detraction. A classic Austrian albite specimen.
