Description

A very nice example of the early 2000s finds at Imilchil: whiteish to tan beige sharp interlocked microcline crystals hosting some small magnetite crystals and another brownish columnar silicate(?). This one has been in my collection for more than a decade now, has to leave because of space issues.
