Description

Albite (var. peristerite, or "moonstone") on matrix rock showing its ghostly, bluish schiller here in direct light. All of the gray cleavages are persiterite, but the plagioclase lamellae are not all at the right angle to yield the effect in this photo.

From an old austrian collection, comes with acrylic stand.
