Description

Several pink and glassy crystals of albite on matrix. They are well developed, highly lustrous and partly gemmy. A super specimen from the famous individual find. It was firstly described as reedmergnerite, the very rare boron analog of albite but a RAMAN testing of Marcus Origlieri at the university of Tucson, Arizona gave albite, unequivocally, as a result.
