Description

Floater of sharp edged white adularia. One side of the specimen shows tall crystals, the other side is coverd by smaller adularia. There is little chlorite deposited on the feldspar crystals. Adularia has a nice lustre and really good faces and edges.

This classic specimen shows typical growth for the Pinzgau Area and was collected in the early 1970s. Difficult to picture because of the missing contrasts.
