Lustrous sharp albite featuring the distinctive polysynthetic twin, in combination with subtle black hematite, green epidote and actinolite fibres. No damages, very lustrous and entirely crystallized.

Fine albites from this locality are scarce ; the pictures don't do justice to this specimen, way better in person.
