Item Description

Dramatically intergrown blocky, lustrous, snow-white albite crystals form a very sculptural large specimen from the Shigar Valley. The dominating large crystal is 8.0 cm across. Scattered lustrous black schorls and small pearlescent muscovite books are a colorful contrasting accent. The large cluster of muscovites is the attachment point and the rest of this outstanding piece is pristine. Very choice large combination material from recent finds here. It has multiple display possibilities, as every turn or tilt presents a different perspective.
