Description

A very fine specimen, developed as floater! The faces are all highly lustrous, exceptional luster for this mineral. Along the edges (which are all very sharp) you can see a thin layer of dark green chlorite. This layer helps to give a fantastic, tridimensional impact to the piece. It can be displayed in various positions and always looks great! One of the most attractive adularia specimen I ever saw, No significant damages to report.
