Description

Very aesthetic and classic alpine combination piece from this famous locality. Several intergrown adularia crystals sitting perfectly on a bed of quartz crystals, acompanied by a single rock crystal with some matrix. Some of the quartz crystals show a clearly visible “faden“. The specimen is free standing without support and in very good condition. On close inspection, a few missing or broken small crystals can be found, but barely noticable. The lowest of the big adularias has a small chip on one edge on the Backside and the big rock crystal shows a fleebite on the termination, on the backside as well. One of the big adularias has a rounded corner on one side. I think this is a contact or a growth disturbance. All in all a very beautiful an eye catching specimen. Watch the Video!
