Item Description
A sharply terminated, 5.7 cm, porcelaneous, microcline monolith dramatically rises above matrix on this striking specimen from Alchuri. Water-clear quartz crystals and smaller microclines dot the matrix or act as buttresses to the monolith. A 2.0 cm, sharply hexagonal, light blue, water-clear, aquamarine crystal acts as an additional buttress. This is an especially fine 360-degree combination microcline specimen from Pakistan. From the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
