Description

This is an excellent sample of alpine adularia. The crystals show moon-stone quality, their transparency is exceptional. All faces show superb luster and two larger crystals show even a light pink saturation. Both main crystals are very exposed. Hard to photograph, much better in person. The main crystal is 17 mm across.
