Description

A group of snow-white adularia crystals in highest quality. The faces are highly glossy with a fine elongated structure. All edges are undamaged - it's hard to get an undamaged alpine adularia because it's so sensitive. The largest crystal reaches a size of 2.5 cm. A really remarkable alpine specimen, perfectly crystallized and undamaged!
