Description

This is an amazing assemble, consisting of uncountable intergrown, sharp terminated and lustrous adularia crystals. Photos just can give you an idea of this dramatic assemble - it is developed as floater and looks fantastic in each position! A few water-clear, lustrous smoky quartz crystals are also present. The tridimensional impact was hard to photograph and alos it is nearly impossible to capture the luster of white crystals with teh camera. So please note that this specimen is so much better in person and really very spectacular! No significant damages to report.
