This is very rare material! There are several razor sharp terminated crystals of adularia attractively set on matrix and up to 25mm on edges. These crystals show an fantastic quality, their luster is over the roof and they are partly transparent - this is moon-stone quality! The largest crystal is the exposed one at the top, some of the smaller crystals are powdered with minor greenish chlorite along some edges, which gives even more color and contrast to the piece. No significant damages to report.
