Description

When did you see such items the last time,- a superb Milarite from South Tyrol, absolutely visible to the naked eye??? The only time with me was decades ago. Here you see excellent defined and superbly terminated, glassy six-sided crystals of Milarite perfectly and contrastful set atop of Chlorite-covered, sharply defined Adularia. The gemmy terminations of the Milarite are multifaced and insane good. Just a thumbnail,- but this piece has it all. I don´t know, when there is the next opportunity to get such a piece. In any case a super rare alpine thumbnail masterpiece. The specimen comes from the Joachim Hennrich Collection. Joachim was a real expert of alpine specimens.
