Item Description

Sharp, very glassy, highly lustrous, transparent to translucent K Feldspar variety Adularia crystals are richly clustered on this showy specimen from a NEW FIND in the Skardu District. Some of the crystals are preferentially included with green chlorite, adding color and character. The two large crystals are 2.0 cm long. The many interior crystals are all pristine, with the noted bruising on the periphery certainly being only a modest detraction. Adularia specimens of this quality are seldom on the market from Skardu and this is a fine example from the small lot we received.
