Item Description
A beautiful group of fine quality, bladed, somewhat gemmy, white / colorless Albite (var "Cleavelandite") associated with silvery-golden color "rosette"-esque groups of Muscovite mica. The piece has excellent sculptural form, with only minimal damage and really looks beautiful up close. You don't see a lot of feldspar that can pass light, let alone is gemmy in areas, so keep this in mind when bidding. The piece also shows an interesting fluorescence under UV light. A nice cabinet sized display specimen that's worth adding to a Brazilian suite or a feldspar collection.
