Description

This lot is for two orthoclase crystals

One is a perfect Carlsbad twin and the other is an untwinned crystal.  Both are complete all around and in super sharp, perfect condition.  These were collected in the 1980's from a mountain exposure and were encased in a very hard matrix which made it very difficult to recover them undamaged. These are "textbook" perfect.
